How to Obtain fastener Load from a simplified plate/beam model of a semimonocoque stucture?

[juancervi]

Hi, I have a model of a semimonocoque structure represented by beam and plate elements (plates represent the skin and frames, and beams the stringers). I would want to know if is there any way of use the membrane forces or stresses in the elements of the joints to estimate the forces into the fasteners of the real structure.

Thanks

grid point force balance is probably the easiest way.
