Torque applied to I beam solidworks simulation
Torque applied to I beam solidworks simulation
(OP)
hello, i am trying to simulate an I beam that i subjected to a torque of 400Nm the beam is built in at both ends. So far i have put fixtures at either end of the beam and tryed to apply a torque the faces I have selected for the torque is the ends of the beam. I am unsure waht to select as the axis or face of direction, I guess its the centre line of the object but i am unsure how to create a refernces axis. Any help would be much appraciated!

Select all the tangent edges, or where ever the actual load will be applied. Think about the problem and how the load will be transferred to the beam, then apply the loads in the same manner.

If you can answer that then you should be able to work out how to apply the loads to the beam. You may need to create some more split faces, not just a line down the centre.
