Hello. I am running some FEA analysis in Catia using the GSA module of a rivet installed through two plates. I believe I am getting the correct stress value from my model for the large plate. But the secondary plate and rivet show 0 stresses. I am wondering if anyone thinks this is correct. Also the maximum stess is located in the plate on the side of the hole, in line with the load instead of perpendicular to it as the open hole case shows. I'm also wondering if this is correct. Please see attachment. Thanks.
