elastic and plastic analysis. one bolt is offset to maximum mfg tolerance. you can see it in the lower left hand side.

    Nice pictures Steve.

    ¿Are you using bolts or rodbar?
    I suppose you are neglecting the threads in both the bolt and mount adapter ¿isn't it?.
    ¿Is it a common practice when modelling studs or bolts?
    It looks to me like it is a point of important stress concentration when the bolt is in shear or bending.
    Thanks in advance.

    for this plastic analysis I neglected the bolt threads.

    note: I was able to apply bolt pre-tension by using offset nodes and the contact feature. That was a nice.

    I may be able to do that but give me some time.
