We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

In addition to the advice mjmiddle provided, I suggest you insert a Revolute Joint, Body-Ground. Let the ground Reference coordinates be the center of the coils and orient the Coordinate System so that the Z axis is along the coil axis. Let the Mobile location be the 3 faces on the short arm at one end of the coils. Apply a Joint Load to rotate the Mobile end by a specific angle.  Use a Joint Probe to measure the Torque being created to rotate that short end.
