We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello,

 

Yes, it is possible to simulate preload between two solid parts that are screwed together.

One way is to use the Bolt pretension object. More information related to that can be found in Ansys Help documentation at the following link:

On AIC, we have a learning track on Pre-loaded Bolted Connections which could be useful to you.

You can access it by following the link below:

Kind Regards,

Giorgos
