Modeling of Bolts

ron.kunz over 7 years ago

Dear all,

I have a big assembly and want to model bolts in the complete assembly. What is the best and accurate way to model this.

Cbar analysis is accurate enough to analyse the bolt forces. Boltstress is of secundair interest.

Are there examples for these bolts?

In addition bar orientation for this CBAR property, how can this best be modeled?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Ken,

I have Patran version 2017.03. I get these messages:

-Creating Nastran Database using SOL nfimp_v22: Failed but continue

then:

-Fatal erros encountered trying to read input file. he import process was aborted.

Also you mention, you use contact bodies to model contact. However I don`t have SOL400.

Only SOL101 so I cannot use contact bodies.

Can you comment on this?

Thanks.
