Reply To: how to set up to find the pretention force of the bolted joint

[1617836513]

Can it only be calculated by a formula? The value calculated by the formula is the theoretical value, can't I get the simulation experimental value in Ansys？I want to do a comparison of the simulation value of the pretention force with the theoretical value. Assuming that instead of applying torque during tightening, I apply a certain angle using remote displacement to tighten the bolt, how should I output the bolt pretention force?
