Flange
Flange
(OP)
Flanges aer connected to echother ,rotating at some angular velocity.My doubt is
How to simulate the bolted joint in the flanges which are conn to each other,
1.whether we have to fix ii in any dof/shall we take it as free one with out any dof,
2.if it is free , how to constrain the flanges
any one could clarify my doubts?

RE: Flange
Motor rotates the first flange and there is resitance at the other end. So, you can fix nodes where motor/shaft is connected to flange and apply torque to other end.
If angular velocity is also of concern than you should include in this static analysis the angular velocity b.c. which you enter only center of rotation, density of material, velocity.
RE: Flange
Thank you foryour reply,I am using Ansys.I am interseted in stresses at Bolts,Being they are in rotation , i am in confusion to give the DOF,
Thank you again
