Applying a Torque Load

You apply a torque load of 700 Nm at the outer cylindrical faces of the disk where bolts attach the inner disk to the outer disk rotor.

The faces to which you apply a torque load and the cylindrical face for the torque direction are preselected in the FeatureManager design tree under Selection Sets > load and Selection Sets > load direction.
  1. In the Optimization study tree, right-click External Loads , and click Torque .
  2. In the graphics area, expand the brake rotor flyout Feature Manager design tree. Under Selection Sets, select load.
    The six cylindrical faces of the outer bolt circular pattern appear in Faces for Torque .
  3. Click Axis, Cylindrical Face for Direction . In the brake rotor flyout Feature Manager design tree, under Selection Sets, select load direction.
    The exterior cylindrical face is selected for the torque load direction.
  4. For Torque value , type 700.
    A 700 Nm torque is applied to each of the 6 selected cylindrical faces. A total torque of 4200 Nm is applied to the inner disk rotor.
