Hi everyone,
I am modelling bolted flange connections in Abaqus 6.14 and am refining the load pattern for my model. I am applying bolt loads over a series of steps to avoid excessive deformation of the gasket material I am using. My problem is that I am looking at applying a bolt-up sequence to the model, which will require hundreds of steps for large diameter flanges. I have been doing some searching for user subs and alike and am having not much luck with finding any information that I am able to use.
If anyone could give me a few pointers or direct me to some useful material that would be great.
Cheers.
