Rigid Connection, Ansys Workbench, Bolts as rigid joint

This playlist series focuses on the rigid connection calculation according to EN 1993-1-8. A comparison is made with Ansys at the end of the series after hand calculation. Finally, tips for applying the semi-rigid connection to RFEM are presented.
A portal frame with two levels is presented. The Endplate welded to the HEA200 beam is bolted to a HEB300 column with 6M20 class 8.8. Steel material is S355 for all parties.
In this video, the model is updated in the mechanical APDL window of Ansys and solved. The contents are as follows:
a) Bond contact for the weld of the beam
b) Frictionless contact for the Endplate to the column’s flange.
c) Joints model as bolts in a rigid format.
d) Object Generator in Ansys automation tab.
e) Face Meshing
f) Size Meshing for different parts
g) The meshing of the body
h) Contact Tools and checking the gaps
i) Applying the load and analysis.
j) Nodal Force Output in Analysis Setting
k) Checking the results for:
1) Deformation,
2) Von-Mises Stress
3) Contact Tool
4) Moment Reaction
5) Beam rotational angle at support.

Can this software use AISC?

You have just skipped a good chunk of the reality by modelling the bolt connections in this way.

Hello, Hooman, and thank you for your comment. You can check videos 14 and 15 of this playlist to determine if it answers reality. :)
