Minimum Force at SPC

Hello Community,

 

I have come across another small problem and I am here yet again to ask for help.

 

I want to optimize a part which has a load applied to it using a bolt, and is connected to 10 single screws, which I modelled as SPC.

Now, in my optimisation, I would like to assign a minimum share of the applied force that each SPC will have to endure.
(e.g. I apply a force of 30000N to the part and the maximum force per bolt is 600N. The SPC force should be applied so that this maximum force is not exceeded.

In the SPC Card I can apply values to the 6 DOFs, however I am not sure if this is what I need.

Any help is greatly apprechiated.

    I think you are trying to restrict the SPC force on node(s). You can use SPCforce response in your optimization setup. Let us know if this helped.
