Solid Edge Simulation (FEA) Tutorials #11 | Simulate Bolted Connections of Pipe

Bolt connectors transfer tensile, bending, and thermal loads from one part to another. You can use Bolt command to simulate bolted connections between two part faces, without having to model the fastener itself. Most of the information required to create a bolt connector is inferred from the elements you select. If your 3D model contains bolts and other fasteners, you can hide them in PathFinder and just use the part holes to generate the bolt connectors in the FEA model. Selecting holes rather than modeled bolt components yields a much faster processing time for meshing and solving. In this tutorial, you explore how to apply a bolt connection within an assembly, and review the stresses associated with the connectors in the Simulation Results environment. 🔜Please SUBSCRIBE to update more new videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/CADCAMLearning?sub_confirmation=1 Download practice file of this video: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YrriVcEZep3sJKa9R1Wmn9H6AIbC3ddp?usp=sharing FOR MORE TUTORIALS 🔸 Full Solid Edge Design Tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDrOEVvDlgh5Hj69XcRbjrg1 🔸 Full Solid Edge Assembly Tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDqlZTT9rNdwHT58wk70Lf_h 🔸 Full Solid Edge Sheet Metal Tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDoSFarrvvNhHGI1dzSmmQ0x 🔸 Full Solid Edge Simulation Tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDoRcH03aurAAhdFXnSX0YWg 🔸 Full of Mechanical Mechanism Assembly & Motion Simulation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDpZilU-vQCMckvRSeMv6AUe 🔸 Full of Mechanical Mechanism Animation: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDp5nT0rMofqatksnkzbtnY_ 🔸 Full NX Modeling Tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-PExh5GkDr7Ftaq5ZJmgwwzlWfKz3Sy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🏠 4CTECH VIET NAM TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED 🏗 Consulting and Providing CAD CAM software solutions in Vietnam ☎ Contact us: Phone: + 84 968 023 855 | Email: [email protected] 📡 Website: www.4ctech.vn * www.4ctech.com.vn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #SimulateBoltedConnections #SolidEdgeSimulation #SolidEdgeTutorials
