Hello everyone,
I am working on an assembly and I want to fasten 4 components together in it using a single bolt. I can fasten two components together using 1D RBE3 elements at both components holes and a beam connecting them but I am not getting that how should I connect 4 components together, whether I should apply RBE3 elements only on top and bottom components and pass a beam through all component holes or else I should provide RBE3 elements to each and every component and pass separate beam element.
I have also attached an image and numbered all the 4 components that I have to fasten.
Thank You
