Im doing a university project and have run into some trouble regarding the procedure to model pre tensioning of a bolted connection. I am simulating only one of the connected parts, the bolt and the other plate are not included in the simulation. I know the material used for the bolt as well as the two connected plates. I also the know pre tensioning torque. My question is how do i model the pretensioning as a boundary condition for the part?&nbsp; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/24-02-2024-1708808285-mceclip0.png\" width=\"444\" height=\"363\"><\/p>\n<p>The original connection looks like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/24-02-2024-1708808356-mceclip1.png\" width=\"276\" height=\"271\"><\/p>\n<p>This is the part I&#8217;m meant to simulate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My ideas:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1) remote displacements in the hole to restrict horizontal movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2) calculate the force from pre-tensioning and apply it to the hole cylinder.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I would appreciate any help from the ANSYS gurus lurking here!!!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-353626","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["339897","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.41"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"],"_btv_view_count":["630"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["353626"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","339897"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["353670"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["353670"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-02-25 14:33:24"]},"test":"faraaz-nadimuddin-shaikhhsrw-org"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/353626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/353626\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
