Sample application of PSMESH - preload only<br />

We apply constraints for symmetry and to prevent rigid body motion. Note that the uniform temperature<br />

defaults to the reference temperature of 70°F. We apply half the load (this is a half model) to the pretension<br />

node created by PSMESH, solve, and plot the normal stress in the axial direction. As we should expect, the<br />

axial stress is tensile in the bolt, and compressive in the portion of the plates compressed by the bolt heads.<br />

(See Figure 2.23 (p. 68).)<br />
