Contact UsModeling Bolted Connections in Ansys | Webinar:
This one-hour technical webinar recording discusses several common methods for modeling bolted connections in ANSYS Mechanical Workbench. These methods can be grouped into 4 categories:
- Use bonded contact to attach the parts (bolts not included)
- Use beam elements to model the bolts
- Use solid elements to model the bolts but do not model the threads
- Include the threads in bolted connections
- Employing Explicit Dynamics for further analysis
