Newbie & bolt preload
Newbie & bolt preload
(OP)
I'm interested but only playing at the moment. Does anyone know why after I load an IGES assy, it won't let me pick the bolts to add a preload. It shades the shank in half a surface as if it is not a solid, yet it was modelled as a solid by revolving.

Would it matter if the bolt head and nut faces were either a few thou off or under the mating surface.
I used a bolt length that I got from measuring between faces to 4 decimal places?
Thanks
