We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

If Coordinate System_Bolt1 is a cylindrical system, X is the sum of the radial forces and Y is the sum of the tangential forces.  Only the cylindrical Z force is comparable to the Global Z and they do match.   So the tangential forces will tend to be large as they are resisting the moment in addition to the reaction force.
