  Hi, I've 2 surfaces that are in contact thanks to a bolt with a torque of 15Nm, I've obtained the area of contact by a formula and it is lower with respect to the area given by the overlapped area. How can i simulate the real contact area? (ansys electronic student version )

  Hi Alexia,
  
  Are you connecting bodies with torque application on bolt and modeling the same in Ansys Mechanical?

  Hi, Since I’m using the student version of ANSYS, I don’t have access to the Maxwell tool in Workbench, which means I’m unable to perform a coupling between Maxwell and Mechanical. For this reason, I’m only able to work with ANSYS Electronics Desktop (my aim is the Ohmic losses analysis)

  Hi alexia.carenini,
  Can you share some screenshots of the model setup you have in AEDT?
