Hi,
I had a course for Hypermesh with the Abaqus-solver. We build screws in Hypermesh and used the Pre Tension Section to get tension on the screws. Now I´m using Radioss and searching for something that could be used as easy as the PTS tool.
Thanks, Daniel

Daniel,
For Radioss block format you have to use spring element. Use cardimage p32_SPR_PRE (/PROP/SPR_PRE) for the property. Then use spring2n to define the spring element. The force in spring elements is the pretension force.
If you are using Radioss bulk you have to use contacts with correct option to allow two contacts separated by a distance to come closer at the end of the simulation. The pretension force is based on the gap (PL/AE = delta).
Thanks
