Hi Peter, just found your channel from the ANSYS Forums. Thanks for all the information!

LMAOOOO, Hunter, looks like youre trying to probe beam connections again. lol

hello， Except the beam element ，what other contacts do we need to set?

Hi Peter, useful information! I have a question about definiting beam connectors: would it be right choose the lower hole with a pinball radius for the mobile scope (as you did for the reference scope)? If is better do it as you did in the video, if you would have more than two plates, you should chose the inner hole of all of them for the mobile scope? Hope your answer! thanks

Hi Marina, when a bolt clamps 3 plates together instead of 2 plates as shown in this video, the middle plate has a clearance hole and is held in place by frictional contact with the top and bottom plates. The bolt does not interact with the center plate at all. This assumes that the clamping force of the bolt and the coefficient of friction are high and the shear force on the middle plate is low so that it does not slip. If that is not the case, then I would add frictional contact between the side of the bolt and the middle plate hole to support the middle plate shear force on the side of the bolt after the parts have slipped. Generally, joints that allow slippage are unacceptable with rare exceptions.

Hi, Thanks for the videos!! I have a question relating to a project I am working on right now. The project sizing is still in the preliminary stage right now and I want to know if the size matters when doing static structural analysis although the size difference is just scaling up as the model I have from CAD right now is a smaller version of the real size for now but as the size is not finalized yet can I still do the static structural on the scaled down version ?

If you know the displacement load on the full size model, and you scale down the displacement load with the same factor as the geometry, then that would be a valid model.

ANSYS FEA Examples Okay, thank you so much !

Hello! Can you please explain if it's better to scope one side of the beam element (bolt head area) to the circular edge or use your method (kind of looks like you are scoping to the representative washer surface area?

For a model with solid elements, it is better to scope a beam element to a face with a finite area because then you have a finite stress. An edge has zero area so has theoretically infinite stress.
