Full restart example: Bolt pre-tensioning followed by prescribed displacement

Home » Knowledge » Implicit » Guideline Examples » Full restart example: Bolt pre-tensioning followed by prescribed displacement

The same bolted joint as in Section 12.1.2 is studied, but in this case the pre-tensioning (pretens001.key) is followed by a prescribed transverse displacement of 50 mm (full_restart.key). The stress result is shown in Figure 56, and the moment vs. tip displacement curve is shown in Figure 55.
