Moment

This vector-based load distributes a moment "about" (the vector of) an axis across one or more flat or curved faces, or about one or more edges or vertices. Use the right-hand rule to determine the sense of the moment.

You can apply the moment load by defining the components of that vector in either a direction relative to the selected geometry, or to the model as a whole. When defining by the local coordinate system, the z direction is normal to a planar face or the axis of a cylindrical face.
