Once you have a physical sample of a bolted joint, it is easy to apply a known load (most easily done by hanging known weights) and carefully measuring deflection. A discrepancy of 20% is a good result unless extraordinary care is taken to characterize the stiffness of the I-beam. One method is to extend the model past that cut plane and add the full length of the I-beam and the details of how that is bolted to a concrete foundation. With the Fixed Support on a close cut boundary, the deformation from the Ansys model will underpredict the actual tip deflection by a lot.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-301181","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10
