preloading force for explicit abaqus model

preloading force for explicit abaqus model

preloading force for explicit abaqus model

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I am so happy with this discussion but I am still need to know more about bolts preloading simulation skills. I am trying to model end plate beam to column connection. I did my model without preloading the bolts but now I want to add the preloading. I know that I have to put the preloading force in separated step first then apply my dynamic case. When I tried to add a step to the existed model, the bolt load option was not available. So could anybody tell me why this option is not available if you have abaqus explicit existed model. Also, how can add preloaded force using thermal expansion approach to my modelwhich is allready has built using abaqus explicit.

Your answers and advises will be so appreciated.
