What are the dynamical consequences of creating a marker on a flex body (.mnf) with preserve_location (away from native nodes) ? How are forces/torques at the marker implemented on the body ?

If you read further in the Adams Solver online help for the marker statement you can see that you can specify a node for the marker, and if the marker is offset from this node, a rigid lever is used to connect the marker to the node.
If multiple nodes are specified, the position of a marker relative to BCS is a least square weighted average of the relative position of the attachment nodes in their deformed configuration.
