How to find rotational force from rotation applied?

How to find rotational force from rotation applied?

How to find rotational force from rotation applied?

(OP)
Hello,

I am simulating a wire by applying rotation at one end and fixed at other end. I applied rotation using boundary conditions, may I know how to find rotational force required to rotate the wire from output. Since force depends on material properties so I guess there might be formula for it. Please help me with this. Thanks in advance.

See output variable Reaction Moment RM

Hello Mustaine3,

Thanks for the reply but isnt RM is Torque. I need rotational force more like T = F.d , I need that F value, so I can calculate Torque using analytical methods

A node has no dimension, so it's up to you. You have the moment. Now you can choose a radius and calculate the force.
