Torque calculation in Wall Results

[max.yang]

In both CFdesign 2011 and Autodesk Simulation 2012, the torque calculation in Wall Results does not allow the input of negative sign for the directions. Previous versions have no issue inputting a negative 1 value in X, Y or Z direction for torque calculation.

Is this a bug?

Hi Max,

I confirmed what you found to be a defect/bug and have shown it the development team and they are taking an active interest in the matter.

I also confirmed that this is a defect as well for CFdesign 2011, but it works in CFdesign 2010.

In terms of a workaround it seems that you will have to force your geometry such that your unit vector direction is in a positive direction.  This can be accomplished in your CAD package and then you will have to rerun your model.

I apologize for the inconvinience.
