Stresses at the Bolt connections
Stresses at the Bolt connections
(OP)
Hi,
I want to calculate the stresses generated at the Bolt connections (between the flanges of the valve and the pipe) due the working pressure of the fluid in a valve.
Is there a way by which we can avoid creating the flange of the pipeline and create a virtual wall to constrain the bolts?
or what is the best way to carry out an analysis for this situation.
Thnx!
I'm using Nastran with NX8.5

RE: Stresses at the Bolt connections
if you want to model the joint, then you'll need to model the flanges. how can you model the joint stiffness if you don't model the flanges ? (to paraphrase Dire Straits)
