-
From the Loads section of the action bar, click Torque
.
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
Select the geometry supports in the model.
You can apply a torque to one or more points.
-
Enter the magnitude component for each direction of the local
feature triad (Torque X,
Torque Y, and
Torque Z).
-
Select the Axis system definition:
Option | Description |
---|
Global
|
Aligns the local feature triad with the global coordinate
system. |
Implicit |
Aligns the axis system to the transformed axis system applied on the
support. |
Local |
Aligns the local feature triad with a selected axis system in the
model. |
Specify |
Orients the local feature triad directly. Right-click the feature
triad glyph on the model, and select an orientation tool. |
-
Optional: Enter a Scale factor.
A scale factor is a multiplier used to scale the magnitude values.
-
Optional: Specify an Amplitude and
Phase angle.
The amplitude curve defines the magnitude of the feature during the step. The
phase angle for the amplitude curve determines the real (in-phase) and imaginary
(out-of-phase) parts of the magnitude. A phase angle of 0ยบ indicates a value
with no imaginary component. Note:
Phase angles are available only for a
harmonic response simulation step.
