I would like to model a screwthread male and female, let's say a M100x4, apply torque and be able to determine the stresses in the threads. I am using a Solidworks Premium license for this.
Whatever I have tried so far did not gave the result I expected. I have tried many things and settings but every time something is not what I expected; either the result, or the solver cant handle it, etc.
I tried many models, but basically I used a helix profile cut for the threads, applied a contact between the flanks of the thread an between the bolthead and face (both with a friction factor) and applied torque.
I also have used Large Displacement.
It seems such a rather simple simulation, but I cannot get it to give me the results I need.
Does anyone have experience on this?
Maybe examples?
Or can lead me to documantation / info that can help?
Is my Premium (with Large Displacement) competent enough, or will I be needing Solidworks Simulation with non-lineair study for this?
Thanks!
