Specify Loads and Perform Calculation

1. Select Loads from the drop-down menu in the Loads & Supports region.

   A radial force is inserted by default; however, we must change it to torque.

2. In the tree control, select Radial Force, and click the arrow next to the icon.
   
3. Select Torque from the displayed list. The Torque dialog box opens. Enter 200 N m in the Torque field, and click OK.
4. In the toolbar, click Torque to add a second torque. In the Torque dialog box, ensure that -200 N m is entered in the Torque field, and click OK.
   Note: The sum of all torques must equal 0.
5. You can also change positions of the torques. In the dialog box preview, drag the torque arrows to the shaft sections as shown in the image.
   
6. Click the Calculate command. Expand the Results area on the right side of the Calculation tab to see the calculated results of the loads, supports, and values.
7. Switch to the Graphs tab to view the diagrams of individual shaft loadings.

Tip: Click the Result icon to display the HTML report.
