Simple Connection (glue) between a bolt and a small plate

Hey Guys,

this is my first post on the altair Hyperworks Formum and I am looking for help becaus I got stuck at the following problem.

I realized the connection with contact surfaces -> solid faces and with interfaces -> contact: FREEZE.

My question is: Is there a better way to simulate a connection with 2 component glue because a friend of mine told me about the missing shear forces, which can't be calculated with the freeze method.

Any ideas?

I created a nonlinear subcase with generic and a NLPARM card.

Mesh: Tetramesh

Thank you in advance!

Manuel
