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

Ron, I can import my example file into Patran 2017, so the problem has something to do with your installation. I suggest you contact MSC Support, and log a support request.

As I said in another topic/question, You can use Contact Bodies in SOL 101; they are NOT limited to SOL400 (for MSC Nastran 2010++). (We call it "Linear Contact".)
