I am trying to model a bolted connection with MPC184 element instead of detailed modeling of bolts in ANSYS Classic. So, I choose the nodes at the edge of the hole and connect them to a master node with the MPC184 element. However, I am not sure how to locate the master node. Meaning what is the Optimum distance between the hole and the node that will be constrained.
I have tried a range of distances and it affects on the results especially the displacement.
Any Guidance will be great.
Thanks in advance for your help.
