These are clearance\/threaded holes and I am trying to build a model for a random vibration analysis. I have no other contacts assigned besides all these beam connections.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/13-02-2025-1739478790-Screenshot 2025-02-13 132928.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/13-02-2025-1739478802-Screenshot 2025-02-13 133027.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/13-02-2025-1739478810-Screenshot 2025-02-13 133053.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-421018","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-connection","topic-tag-fastener-1","topic-tag-random-vibration"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["421018"],"_bbp_subscription":["409935","14399","58821"],"_bbp_author_ip":["128.138.131.252"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["421264"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["421264"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-02-14 07:26:58"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["409935","14399","58821"],"_btv_view_count":["172"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"grace-halfertycolorado-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/421018","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\/421018\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
