Thanks WillisV.
Some of the bolted connections I'am working with is analysed in ANSYS, which include bolt pretension. So my bolt force will never get below the initial pretension.
But I guess the tensile strength for the bolts should be checked without pretension included.
Hi
I'am reading the AISC 'specification for steel structural buildings 2010' (ASD), and find chapter J.3 a bit confusing when it comes to bolt pretension and tensile strength.
So my question is:
Why is the minimum bolt pretension set to 0.7*Fu according to table J3.1 and allowable tensile...
Hi
According to ASCE/SEI 7, which AISC is referring to, the time-varying(environmental) loads are multiplied with 0.75. This is equivalent to DNV rules(Norwegian offshore rules) and seems reasonable.
I'am not that familiar with ASCE/SEI 7, but is this code intended for buildings and other...
Hi.
Does anyone know if its possible to change the ugly green color of the model in the visualization module? Can't find it in the graphics options...

Hi.
Iam running an Implicit Dynamic wind-simulation on a bridge, with geometric stiffness. My timeserie is 6000 sek. But the problem is that the analysis have used all my RAM after aprox 2000 sek in to the timeserie.
My computer has 6 GB RAM.
I have closed Aba CAE, so there is only Aba...
Hi.
Iam working with a modell in Abaqus 6.12, but need to run the analysis on another pc with Abaqus 6.11. When I open my .cae-file in 6.11, wich I made in 6.12, Abaqus ask me if i want to convert the database. The convertion starts and everything seems to be normal. But when I open the new...
