Torque

I have a simple model which i need to apply a torque to, the model is a standard 1/2-13 UNC nut.

How would i apply a torque load to the model. Can i apply a force on each of the six edges that would be in contact with the wrench creating a moment?

Thanks

Brad,
1st, you've got to create a datum pnt on the nut's axis. Then you apply moment to that point,'smearing' it overthe 6 faces using either Total Load at Point option or a Weighted link (the latter is forWF3 or later).
Hope this helps,
Yuri
