Hi

Solid elements will not have any rotational DoF, and hence applying moment at a node is ruled out. Moment can be applied either by applying as Moment as defined in FEM on a node if it has rotational degrees(eg: shell or beam elements)  or by applying as two oppsite forces on two or more nodes to cause a couple or moment.. Hope this helps...
