This example problem demonstrates a simplified modeling technique for bolt thread simulation using the Bolt Thread Correction method. The method delivers results with near accuracy of the true threaded bolt model, but without the need to include thread profile details in the geometry. Thus, the bolt thread correction method offers significant savings in simulation time. This example is simulated using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved with Ansys Mechanical APDL see Bolt Thread in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
