ABAQUS Tutorial: bolts, fasteners and connector elements for 4-Point bending of a composite frame

reference for thumbnail figure: Four-point bending of an integral composite frame - Simulation and experimental E. Kappel et al., 2022, under construction In this video, I will show you how to model different kinds of bolts in ABAQUS CAE and also give an example which is validated by a test ! Timecodes: Intro: 0:00 Bolts between Aluminium and Composite: 0:22 CAE Model for the bolt connection: 1:00 Bolts for load application: 3:14 CAE Model for the bolt connection and boundary condition: 4:00 Numerical results and validation of model = 6:01
