What does the torque measure ouput for contacts, like where is it measuring the torque around? I'm trying to get the resultant torque on a body that has many contact, what's the best way to do this?

The torque results set component on a contact result set is not a realistic torque value. It is essentially how Adams Solver imposes the contact force on a body in the background. If you would like to consider this torque in getting the resultant torque on a body, you would need to disregard the contact normal force. If you are using the contact normal force, you would need to disregard this torque. And, this torque is applied about the Local Body (PART) Reference Frame (LBRF or LPRF).
