Hi all,

I'm trying to make a simple simulation in Solidworks but I keep getting the same error.

Situation: 2 plates, bolted together in overlap

Model: the plates are parts, new assembly in which the plates are bolted together through the 'fast smarteners'

When clicking on 'SimulationXpress' to add loads to the model, I get the error that SimulationXpress does not support the Assembly. I try to study the impact on the shear stresses in the bolts when applying different forces to the plates.

Is there another way for me to simulate this?

Many thanks,

J-M
