How to simulate the bolt pretension in creo simulate. can someone use the model in attachment for a demo with 30kN(it is axial force due to tightening torque).

How can I get the Von mises stress and Equivalent Plastic strain of bolt shank for the applied tightening torque?(the 30kN is the axial force calculated for the applied tightening torque)

How the thermal defined  for this structural situation?

Unclear exactly what you are trying to achieve with this analysis, but typically fasteners are not analyzed with a FEM. There are closed form hand calcs for the various things that you need to get out of a preloaded joint. If you are not familiar with these methods, I would suggest reviewing NASA 5020.

Hello,

 

I am working with a threaded joint, to find its static FOS of threaded component, with stress at the thread is more than the yield point of material. for this purpose the Equivalent Plastic strain is required.
