How to find the torque?

[bimasu]

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.

Can anyone give any feedbacks? Highly appreciated!!

Hi bimasu.
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

I think I can do it. Although im not sure how to do it. Im using Hypermesh & NX simulation as my model panel.

Can you advice me on how to do it?

Thanks in advance.
