Hi all,

I have tried running job of 3d solid modeling consists of bolt and nut with bolt load imposed but it always aborted due to errors.

I want to know what the right method in term of constraint/contact between bolt&nut/boundary condition/pre-stressed load when includes bolt & nut.

Anyone has successfully working with bolt & nut before in Abaqus?

Appreciated if anyone can share their .cae file here.

Thanks in advanced.
