Hallo,

I am doing a analysis of an excavator with different load cases. For the cylinder forces i am using bolt pretension. it seems that the bolt is splited initially and in load cases withoult this cylinder loads they are open and do not behave like a normal (unsplited) beam.

its a linear OS analysis

Do you have some sugestions?

Thanks

Michael
