Reply To: Preload between two parts

[Giorgos Papa]

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,
