Handling Bolted Joint Connections in Ansys Mechanical | Ansys Tutorials

Undertaking simulation is always a trade off between accuracy and computational efficiency. Modelling bolted assemblies is no different. Do you see the bolts for what they are, just fasteners used to bond an assembly together? In this case you may choose to ignore them and directly bond the assembly. Or do you include the bolts and the complexity they introduce?. If you include the bolts, what is the most effective way to capture their behaviour with maximum computational efficiency? Can you simplify their representation? What about applying pre-tension? What about including the threads in the model? Are all these things necessary in every case? This webinar aims to explore, via demonstrations, some of the approaches you can use in Ansys Mechanical to model bolted assemblies and the pros and cons of the different approaches.
