I am currently using workbench 9.0.
When you select the environment tab there is a drop down window that appears that allows you to select between static, sequence, and harmonic. From there you can add sequences and customize them to simulate your bolting sequence. Sorry about the slow...
Basically tan delta can be used to chartacterize the modulus of the material. Delta should range between 0° and 90° and as delta approaches 0° it it also approahes a purely elactic behaviour. As delta approached 90° the material approaches a purely viscous behaviour.
The tan of delta is...
Goal: I would like to model 4 bolts being tightened down in sequence on a flange.
Problem: The first sequence returned an expected stress result but sequence 2-4 (simulating bolts 2-4 being torqued down) leave a resultant stress of nearly zero. It seems to me that the stress results from...
