Hello Jack,

For a riveted lap joint, you can define contacts as below:

1. Frictional between two plates
2. Frictional between head and plate
3. Frictional between tail and plate
4. Frictional/frictionless between plate holes and shank

For more details on how Ansys contact definitions work, kindly refer to this link below:

Regards,

Nanda.
