If it is compressed with critical load, eigenvalue will be zero... So, according to this, in my bolted and preloaded structure I want to see how preload...

    Hello everyone, this is my very first message in this forum, so I hope this is the right section to post my question. I'm using Nastran for a study on bolted joints, both from a static and a modal point of view. I realised that Nastran allows to simulate the effect of pretensioning on a linear...
