Folks,
Have any of you extensively implemented Gray and McCarthy's global jointed model based off their paper "A global bolted joint model for finite element analysis of load distributions in multi-bolt composite joints". Would it be possible to ignore the bolt stiffness and model only the rigid surface to transfer the loads. Also, how do I model a rigid analytical surface in Ansys??
Thank you.
