    create element on node in Workbench

    thx for you answers ! I have an other question. I wrote ansys commands into workbench to constraint nodes, but, when I solve my model, Workbench put some weak spring because it doesn't detect any constrait (they are on my command line, workbench doesn't see them). Is someone know a way to...

    spring/damper in ansys

    Hi, I have another question in Ansys. I am searching for a spring/damper element that will be able to move in all direction to simulate a bolted assembly. I try with combin14, but I think that this element is unidirectionnal. In Nastran, I worked with CBUSH for that and it was great because I...

    Torque in bolts

    I have an other question in the same subject... Nut factors have an important influence in the relation Torque/preload but it is really hard to have a good precision on this factor because it depends on coeficients of friction between threads and between surfaces. Does someone know a good...

    Torque in bolts

    Hi, I would like to know what torque apply to bolts in general. Machinery handbook suggest 75-90 % of yield strength, but what is the best 75 ? 80 ? 90 ? Is it too dangerous to use 90% of yield ? thx Simon P.

    rolling thread

    Thank you for all your posts ! I forgot to say in my question that I was also talking about formed thread. Swall you said : "However, one needs to keep in mind that with fastener specs, you are always working with specified min tensile strength values--how you get there is immaterial." With...
