Hello everyone,
I am trying to do a static structural simulation in Ansys workbench. I have tried applying the bolt pretension condition but the solution does not converge.
Bolt pretension condition:
Part2 with external threads is connected to Part1 with internal threads (tightening torque-25Nm). I have applied the bolt pretension condition to the Part2 outer surface and load 20kN.
Please find the attached image.
Do i need to select the entire Part2 or just the surface in contact with Part1.?
How do i apply the bolt pretension condition..?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vamshi
