A frequent question we have is how to quickly identify and classify fasteners in complex assemblies. Discovery 2026R1, we have introduced a tool that intelligently identifies and categorizes fasteners such as bolts, washers, and nuts throughout your geometry. This document explains how to use the fastener detection capability to recognize and organize fastener components in your model.<\/p>\n
