What is the best way to model a rectangular plate in rotation with a moment?

The plate it attached to a base with screws and I want to test the plate in rotation.

Where would I put the moment...how can I add a moment to one end of the plate and have the rest of it fixed?


==I====I== Plate
I I (I) 2 Screws
--I----I--
I I Base
----------


Rotated with a moment...I want to measure torsional strain.
Thanks so much
