I have an eccentric wheel mechanism and I want to find the torque that the wheel can produce. It has a frame that has a body-to ground fixed joint that holds the mechanism. The frame is connected to a piston with a translational body-to-body joint, which is connected to a rod with a body-to-body revolute joint, which is connected to a eccentric pin on the wheel, again by a revolute body-to-body joint, finally, the center of the wheel is connected to the frame with another revolute body-to-body joint. The piston is moved through a system-coupling interaction with Fluent. Everything is working ok. I can run the simulation and get all the info I need except the torque of the wheel. I can get the displacement through a deformation result but I cant get the force. I tried using a probe for force and moment reaction but I can only use the geometry selection location method for a surface and the results don&#8217;t make much sense to me. I have set everything to Yes in calculation settings &#8211; output controls. I want to have a transient analysis where I can calculate the torque, the displacement and the energy that I can generate with the wheel throughout the oscillation of the piston. What can I do to get these results?
