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 each sequence is based on the sequence before it rather than the starting inital condition of the flange.
Does anyone know how to fix this situation?
