Cant select threaded hole for bolt conector simulation.

[scastrophotography]

HI there.

I have 2 components that I want to connect with a threaded bolt in the simulation environment. The issue I'm having is I can select the bolt head location but I'm not getting any options to select the hole threads. I want the 2 bolts to go on either side.

Can someone help me with this?

Here is my design https://a360.co/3kCWoEH

Thank you

Joshua.

Do not use Modeled threaded holes in analysis.

And these threads are not even modeled correctly.

BTW - Using the BORN Technique this design could be done with 2 (maybe 3) simple (fully defined) sketches.

Thankyou, that fixed it.

Why do you think the thread didn't model correctly?

If I get time - I will remodel from scratch using the BORN Technique.

Thanks, I'm yet to optimise my sketch technique, mostly about when to finish a sketch and when to keep going.

What does BORN stand for?

EDIT: just seen your youtube video on the BORN technique.
