RE: simulation of screw
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Assuming that you're wanting to figure out how to do something in Abaqus, you might want to post over in forum799: ABAQUS: ABAQUS FEA Solver.
However, you might want to go into more detail in that forum about exactly what you're hoping to simulate. Generally, I don't like to screws to move once they've been tightened.

this seems like a highly axisymmetric problem to me.. you should consider simplifying your geometry, especially if you're going to play with friction.
If you cannot figure out how to make the screw motion I think you're going to have a lot of trouble setting up the contact ...

The screw itself must be aligned to the top & right plane and be unrestricted to rotate. Then add the nut in the same fashion. The trick is to position the nut on the threaded screw PRIOR to adding the screw information in Motion.
Then spinning the screw makes the Nut move up and down the threaded shaft. Easy.
Good luck with it.
