Hi,
I have modeled a frame in Inventor to a customers dimensions and section sizes. They require calculation to be done on the section size, weld size and bolt capacity to ensure it is sufficient, this report will be sent to their structural engineer to approve. I can analyse the columns and beams fine. Is it possible to analyse a bolted connection of 4 M20 bolts to produce figures for shear capacity in Nastran? Is there also functionality for checking the capacity of a welded joint?
I have purchased Inventor Professional, and am running a 30 day trial of Nastran in Cad currently.
Many thanks for any help
