RE: Pre tension in a fastener

(OP)
I am sorry for not giving clear deatils. as a begineer in abaqus i have few doubts in meshing a fastener which has a chamfer at the bottom and round at the top, i don't know what kind of meshing i need to do here, do i need to partion the fastener in no. of blocks for structured or sweep mesh?

RE: Pre tension in a fastener

There is an example of a threaded fastener in the manual/sample files. You might want to check that out. I don't know if it has anything about applying pre-tension.

HTH,
Dan
