Thank you.
It seems to be behaving correctly and closely matching the classical calculated model using the following
Frictional Contact Settings as you detailed
High Normal Stiffness and High Tangential Stiffness per Unit Area
Elastic Symmetry Co…
Very good to know about 2D Axi-Symmetric. I just assumed because it highlighted in red it would not run. I should have clicked run just to see.
Thank you for the reference bolt model. I've got my analysis running and solving. I'm not getting conta…
Yes - sorry i should have been more clear. It is axially symmetric along the X-Axis.
What i'm trying to do is essentially run a 2d Axial Symmetric Solve but with non linear contact on the thread teeth.
Since the solvers don't do non linear in 2D …
