Dear all,
I Want to study the stress around a screw assembling two shell elements.
For modelling the screw(Via Abaqus) I used Mesh-independent fasteners,defining fasteners using BEAM MPCs.
I first created an attachment point and positioned it where I wanted my screw to be then>Special>Fasteners>create>point-based>I picked-up the attachment point I just created> Rigid MPC (in the property tab of the edit fasteners window)and 5 mm physical radius.
Once my fastener created I run my job and I always have this message of error:
"FASTENER INTERACTION NAME FASTENERS-1 HAS NO VALID SPOT WELD DEFINITIONS. PLEASE CHECK THE FASTENER DEFINITION"
I can't find out why the definition is incorrect.
Can someone help me with defining this fastener?
Is that method the best to study the stress around a crew?
Many thanks.
Regards.
