How do I deal with localised stresses?

Altair Forum User

Localised high stresses occur where bolt connectors are used and when 1D rigids are used to transfer load from one component to another. How can I deal with this?

In general, you should not pay attention to these values because it's not physical.

To transfert the load from one component to another, maybe you try to use 'RBE3' instead of 'RIGIDS' ?
