I applied a vertical force on a reference point which is coupled to apart of my model in Abaqus Standard. But surprisingly, the vertical reaction force output is slighlty different from the applied vertical force on the reference point! Could anyone suggest a reason for this discrepancy!?

It depends on yoor mesh, geometry, the distance between the applied load and the support (if it is not too much it dose not the sentvenant rule)

How much is the difference? Please make sure you have enough discretization to eliminate any significant numerical error.
