Dynamic Simulation Driving Torque Calculation

[Anonymous]

     I am trying to determine the driving torque of an offset crank (green) slider (blue) given the slider has an external force applied in the X direction.  My application has different external forces depending upon the slider's direction of travel.  I intend to vary the offset in order to tune the required torque to that direction's external force.

     I am confused by the many "moment" terms in the Output Solver.  That is to say, which Moment box should be checked to see the required moment (torque) to overcome said external force?  Thank you!

I believe I need to use "Unknown Torque" in order to determine the driving torque to overcome the external force.  The instruction to apply this torque are a bit vague.  I feel like I should position the torque by clicking on the crank's cylindrical surface or axis.  Unfortunately, this results in a coaxial vector arrow instead of some sort of circular arrow.  Any wisdom is appreciated.  Thanks!
