Hi,
I am attempting to run a study on 2 parts clamped together usingspecial fastenings, and i'm interested in ways of applying an axialpreload to the fastenings.
I've tried using a drop in temperature to give the preload which Ibelieve is a technique used in older FEA systems. When I run thestudy using standard connectors the reation force on the clampedpart is roughly the sum of the pre-load. 4x M16 bolts with a axialpreload of 46.6KN is this what would be expected? But I getdifferent results from the special fixings?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.SolidworksSimulation
