Hello, I have modelled a bolt connection using a Sliding Contact between bolt and part. Because an errror accoured during the Calculation I have changed the contacts to Freeze Contact and it worked. Which contact is best suited for a bolt connection or do you recommend another modelling approach? Thank you for your help…
