Fastener Modelling

Fastener Modelling

(OP)
Hello,

I'm trying to model a rivet in fuselage using Abaqus. If I have already the STEP file from CATIA which contains coupling constrains, do I have to re-define this coupling constrains in Abaqus separately?
Or it will be directly imported from the STEP file?

Thank you in advance.

RE: Fastener Modelling

As far as I know can STEP files only contain geometry and no simulation features.

Maybe you can export a ASCII files with the locations of the fasteners from CATIA and reuse that file with the fastener definition in Abaqus.
