<p>Hello everyone,<\/p><p> <\/p><\/p>\n

    \n
  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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <p> <\/p><p><\/p><p> <\/p><p>  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.<\/p><p>So, if anyone knows what type of contact use for this please let me know.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Aitor<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-387154","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansyscontact-1","topic-tag-bolt-pretension","topic-tag-bonded-contact","topic-tag-contact-target-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
