Bolt Tension 1

[crapshooter]

Ok, i'm new to SW's. I don't have the toolbox. I made my own bolt. It's going to hold to pieces together with a specified load. How do i make the program see the compression load at the jointed areas for the FEA analysis?


Thank You

This is dependant on the FEA program you are using (Cosmos, Ansys...etc.)

In other words, this is not a SWX question, but an FEA question.

Crapshooter,

The load cases will be defined in whatever FEA program you import the SWx data into....just remember don't put threads in bearing.

If you search this forum you'll find some very interesting technics to simulate fastener loads.
