Bolt Load Set

Use a Bolt Load Set to organize the bolt preloads for use in a Simcenter 3D Multiphysics analysis.

The only type of load that you can add to a Bolt Load Set is a Bolt Pre-Load.

If you enable bolt sequencing, the bolt preloads in any given load set are applied simultaneously. For more information, see Controlling the order of bolt preloads

Corresponding Nastran Syntax

The Bolt Load Set command corresponds to the BOLTLD bulk data entry.

The Label field in the Bolt Load Set dialog box assigns the SID for the BOLTLD and BOLTFRC bulk data entries.

The Number of Increments field in the Bolt Load Set dialog box corresponds to the NINCi field in the BOLTSEQ bulk data entry.
