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.

Thanks for your quick response. I followed as per your suggestion but the closure key is not deflecting uniformly even though I used symmetry constrain to all parts. Please check the attachment for the deflection.

Thanks a lot for your valuable support. Its working fine as you suggested. Still I need some more clarity. I used surface region to apply the force but the closure key is getting intersect with the end wall slot. If I am not wrong it should get deflect without intersecting, even though I used connection between them. Please check the attachment.
