Graphing Torque (or equivalent?)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am having trouble understanding how to go about graphing a torque. I am modeling a cylinder with a fixed constraint at one end and a rigid connector on the other end. Using a prescribed rotation of 5*t [deg/min] I believe that I have managed to put a torque on my model. Running a time dependent model (of t=2 mins) the model returns a (solid.thy_rig1) of 10 (degrees) which makes sense since 5 deg/min for 2 minutes is 10 degrees.

So, how do you go about acquiring values for the Torque? I tried to follow what was done in this thread (www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/40807/). But the parametric sweep and the integration don't really make sense to me.

Simply put, I want to graph torque (???) vs. angular displacement in the y direction (solid.thy_rig1).

Thanks!
