I created a simple supported beam and apply a support displacement on one end, as attached. The member is free to rotate, however I would expect axial force due to the displacement . The resultant axial force was zero.

Hello,
Please share the correct STAAD file where you have assigned support displacement in the model.
Please see attached. It has a support displace load of 1 m on node 2.
