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.

Thanks for the video. However, I noticed that you did not fill in anything for the pre-stress of the bolts. How come?

[@parthot7445]

Hi...is it possible to do CFD simulation also in SolidEdge?

[@CADCAMLearning]

Hello, It's possible with Flow Analysis module

@@CADCAMLearning Great! Thanks a lot for the info and the videos mate!

[@parthot7445]

@@CADCAMLearning Do you have a download link for the flow analysis module as well, like you have for Solid Edge? Or does it come with Solid edge by default?

​@@parthot7445 I dont have flow analysis module. I am using Solid Edge Premium
