Modeling Bolt Shear

Modeling Bolt Shear

Modeling Bolt Shear

(OP)
I have a model created that that has a fixed end on one side and a tension load on the other end. There are various bolts that are in shear on this assembly. I have attached a screenshot of the model. I am trying to model the stresses in bolts and get them to fail in shear. What keeps happening is the bolt yields a lot but never fails in the model. Is there a way to define the material properties of the bolt to make is show shear failure?

RE: Modeling Bolt Shear

Have you defined any Damage & Failure material behavior?
