Are the reactions in Simulation calculated about the global origin?


No. In Simulation Release 10.0, the summation location is roughly the centroid of all of the nodes that form the support. To obtain the reactions about a specific location, you can insert a command object that selects the support nodes and then uses SPOINT and FSUM to obtain the reactions about a specific point. The default for SPOINT is the global origin.
