Need Pro/Mechanica help

Need Pro/Mechanica help

(OP)
I have an assembly of 3 components (End wall, End plate, and Closure Key) in Pro/mechanica. All the Constraints, Material properties, connections & some springs as Idealizations are assigned as per requirement. A pressure of 2000Psi is acting on the End wall and End plate as shown in attachment. When I check the result there was no displacement in the closure key. I need to calculate what is the strength required for the bolts on the closure key, or need to increase the no of holes on the closure key to withstand the opposite pressure.

RE: Need Pro/Mechanica help

Surely you can calculate this by hand. The pressure on the plate must be carried by the closure key, and hence by the bolts.

I need to check with the Pro/Mechanica result so I need help in Pro/mechanica. I think I have not given some proper constraints so I am not getting the solution in Mechanica. Can any one give the solution who works in Mechanica.

RE: Need Pro/Mechanica help

Not sure if you tried yet, but there is a ProM forum here on Eng Tips.
