wow! thanks a lot!

You're welcome!

​Sorry, ​@@cadcaelab, Is It necessary to suppress coincident mate before starting simulation?

Hello, why you didn't specify preload? Here bolts work as a pin.

Hi, I was looking for how to do the analysis and came across this site. It is very informative. I would like to ask you one question. At 12:41, it says FA=FB=21.0KN, FC=FD=14.8KN. How do you get these values in a normal calculation? If you don't mind, could you please tell me the equation?

M16 bolts have a pitch of 2, which means 1 thread every 2 mm, or 0.5 threads per mm, not 2 threads/mm as shown. Very helpful video!

Hi, why we see bending moment result on bolt? We check bolts as per code (EN-AISC etc.) and i cannot see bending moment check there? Could one explain it ?

Hello shouldn't the load be concentrated on the halfway distance of the 15 thickness? If so how you put load of 16 Kn totally distributed along the edge.that means that you should multiply this uniform 16 Kn load by 15 to get the equivalent point centered load. Am I correct?

You forgot (or didn't know) about the most important part of a bolted connection, which is the pre-load. The pre-load create a clamping force between two surfaces which, when combined with a coefficient of friction, allows the load to be exclusive supported by the frictionnal forces between the two surfaces. A bolt isn't a part meant to resist to shear effort. They are meant to be used in tensile effort.

what typical values of preload should be used?

[@elliotmadison1928]

I wirk through this entire thing and you put the force on a face that I don't have because of how you make the parts? Like why would you not show how to do this the other way?
