We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi,

There is not contact between the bolt shank and the plate holes since in the geometry the holes are larger than the bolt shank.

In what concerns the contact status between the two plates, in the last loading I have used there is no contact between the two plates (pressure = 0). But in the previous load cases contact was still operating but the results in the workload weren't good anyway.
