Bolt Assessment Inside Ansys

Overview

Bolted joints are among the most widely used machine elements, yet their verification becomes challenging when multiple bolts, complex geometries, preload conditions, and realistic load paths are involved. Bolt Assessment inside Ansys combines finite element analysis with VDI 2230 verification, enabling engineers to evaluate bolted connections directly within the Ansys Workbench environment. The automated workflow helps identify critical bolts, determine safety factors, and assess joint integrity efficiently.
