In this tutorial, we mesh the quarter symmetry model of a pressure vessel shown in the following image. We add bolts at the two holes along the flange to hold the two parts together. The model is used in the subsequent Bolted Flange Static Stress Analysis tutorial.
Features Illustrated:
- Specifying and adding bolts
- Construction vertices and their effect of the mesh
Goals
- Import the CAD solid model
- Add preloaded bolts at each of the two holes
- Mesh the model using the default mesh settings
