Hi,

I have created an Abaqus model which uses the Fasteners connection type to join two surfaces. The fasteners have been defined as attachment points. Is there a way I can get a free body cut specifically for the nodes that the attachment point is connected to? I know how to generate a freebody cut for a whole surface, just not for a specific point. This will enable me to determine the required bearing and pull through loads that I will need the surface to be able to withstand.

Thanks
