How to find the torque?
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to calculate the torque on a shaft. I have a plate that is attatched to a shaft. Im applying pressure on the plate and trying to calculate torque using abaqus. I have used cylindrical coundaries on the shaft to fix it on the axial rotation (Theta). Any ideas on how I should proceed to find the torque on the shaft?
Thanks in advance. :)

Could you try to fix the shaft via MPC (REF NODE in axis of shaft), with Z-axis concentric to shaft axis? Then you can plot RM3 as history output, or simply check the field output in post processor for MPC reference node.
I hope I understood your question correctly ;)

Can you advice me on how to do it?
Thanks in advance. :)
