Hello everyone,

 

1. Im trying to simulate two bodies connected with a bolt, but this bolt doesn´t have any nut on the end. I don´t know if ansys has any mode to simulate de force this jolt generates in the area of the other bodies not usin pretension force, because it doesn´t have it in reality.

 

 

  2. The issue with the contact area is that i dont really understand wich one i have to use in this case. I,ve used "Bonded" for de head and body of the jolt with the low body. For the upper body i,ve used frictionless because is a trough hole. I also dont understand very well which face is contac and wich one target but this may be a conversation for other day.

So, if anyone knows what type of contact use for this please let me know.

There are many posts also on bolts, and material online.

All the best
