Hi, Im a beginner so apologies if I am missing something obvious. I have watched tutorials on the optimization process. I have set the partitions, supports and forces but when i run the study it never seems to include the hole that will be fastened
Hi @tdt,
If the fastener is changed to a support and both supports allow rotation in RZ, then all loads are considered. If the middle support does not allow rotation, then the second support would not be needed.
Hope this helps!

not sure if the video embedded properly. here is the issue
It looks like the fastener load is not being considered for the optimization. Is it possible for you to attach your model so we can review it?
Many thanks Adam. H
ere is the file
Have you tried replacing the fastener with a support load instead? I would attempt the same process using the support and the Rz DOF free to allow rotation along the constraint.
Yes, i have tried just using a support and still get the same issue.
thankyou Adam , that solved the issue
No problem! Glad I could help.
