Hi there,
I need help improving the interaction between beams and shell components that represent the bolts in the structure that I have built using Abaqus for a truss bridge. In particular, I want to build a reliable simulation that faithfully captures how the bolt connections behave.
To gain a better understanding of the structural response in the event of a bolt failure or loosing, I am also trying to mimic such scenarios. Your advice and suggestions on how to simulate bolt failure and create an efficient interaction model would be really helpful to my research.
For reference, I've included a picture of my model as it is right now. Any advice or knowledge in this field would be much valued.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Mohammad Vahdani, this will help; https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/2009/spring/mase5513/abaqus/docs/v6.6/books/usb/default.htm?startat=pt08ch28s02aus105.html
