Specifying a Torque Force Load

To specify a torque force:
  1. Select Force from the dropdown menu of the Structural tool in the Physics group of the Simulation tab, or by selecting the Force tool in the Structural condition HUD.
  2. Select a face to apply a force.

    If your model contains Named Selections, you can click Advanced filters, select Link named selections, and choose one from the list.

  3. Select Torque to define a Torque force.
  4. Enter the torque magnitude.
    You can also select Use force components to specify the X, Y, Z components of the force.
  5. Discovery determines a normal direction based on the selected location. Torque forces will be applied about that direction.
    You can also define the direction. Use the Direction tool or Alt-click to select an entity (a geometry or direction in the local coordinate system) and align the direction with that entity.
