Modeling Bolted Joints of an Axle Assembly Using Ansys Mechanical - Workshop

This video demonstrates the step-by-step process for modeling and simulating an axle assembly using Ansys Mechanical. Specifically, it shows how bolted connections in an assembly can be used to study and balance critical structural forces. We also discuss how simulations could be used to virtually test the load-bearing capabilities of bolted fasteners.
