[Zoi Stavrothanasi]

Hello Camilla,

When using beam connections you have to define the two ends of the beam, which are represented by the referenece and the mobile. You can choose betwwen a face to face connection and an edge to edge connection:

Please review: Connecting bolts represented as beam elements for further details. Also note that the use of beam connection is suggested when the user is interested in bolt load history of an assembly an not in the results near the bolt hole. Hope this helps!
