Problem with Reaction Moment calculation

Hi,
I encountered a problem for calculating the reaction moment of a support. I could not attach the file due to the file extention error! However, I attached a screen shot of the object and support.
I am working with a simple 3d solid object, which has a fixed support at one side. I applied force at one point with a specific distance to the support. For reaction force and torque calculation, I integrate over the surface. However, the value for the reaction moment is clearly wrong. I applied a 10N force at 0.3m distance to the support, but I get 1 N.m reaction torque.
I appreciate if anybody can give me any hint in this regard.
Best.

I found the solution, I have to define a reference point for the torque reaction. Since I cannot delete the thread, I just posted the solution!
