I'm trying to do an FEA which involves an assembly of two steel plates which are bolted-onto each other. The preload due to tightening the nut & bolt is applied in the form of tensile force or pressure on the contact areas (acting in opposite directions to each other) between the bolt & plate...

Our company recently purchased a couple of HP workstations with Quad-Core processor and 8GB RAM to run High-mesh FEA simulation on our CAD models, since we were unable to do so effectively with our existing dual-core systems with 2GB RAM. But unfortunately, the new workstations have not yielded...
Knowing the torque transmitted from the engine onto an axle of a vehicle, how do you find out the torque on each of the wheels? Is it the same as the axle torque or is it half or it?
Assuming of course, two wheels on the axle - one on each side
When you apply Symmetry Restraint on the faces lying on the plane of symmetry of a half-symmetric model, then does the symmetry apply only for the model or also for the boundary conditions which are applied to the half-model (such as force, pressure etc.)?
How do you determine the optimum number of bolt holes or bolts required on an automotive wheel (like the wheels of cars or trucks), when you only have data on the tyre size, the corresponding wheel size and the load rating for the wheel? And for instance, why is it that tractor wheels have...
I have created a Wheel using Solidworks, basically an assembly of a wheel's rim with the wheel disc and bolts and nuts. I would like to make a simulation where the whole wheel rotates at a certain constant speed, say 50rpm. I went to motion study, and I chose the RotaryMotor and set constant...
