Modeling steel structure
Modeling steel structure
(OP)
Hi,
I want to model IASC-ASCE benchmark structure. I want to model bolt connection also as I want to induce damage by loosening bolts in the connection. What type of elements should I use? Can you please help me? Thank you.

The other way would be to adjust the contact offset underneath of the bolt head (to the flange) to get the right preload. I'm not sure if this can be changed with load step though.
