Defining the length of an anchor bolt

Hello

I try a simulation of a deck that is composed of IPe of 200 where a grating rests.

The ipe is fixed by 2 Ø16 stud type anchor bolts on each side with a 12 mm thick plate

So I created a virtual wall to simulate the concrete that coincides with my frames

I created 4 anchor bolts (2 on each side), but when I run the mesh and the simulation, soliworks tells me that the bolt radius / length ratio is too small, while I can't find where to write the length of this anchor bolt. I don't know if I've been clear enough, but if anyone has a solution, I'm all for it, thank you

Hello

If you talk about screw layout, the rule is at least 1.5 times the diameter for steel and 2 times the diameter for aluminum

hello Tomalam

Thank you, but what I'm looking for is the length of the anchor bolt in solidworks simulation

If you created your bolt in 3D or you took it from the toolbox

You don't have to set the length in Simulation

It's the mesh of your assembly that will do the job

Do you need to check 

see attached some tutorials on SW simulation

Happy reading I think you will find the answer to your question via these tutorials

Hello GT 22

I didn't import a bolt, what I understand in anchor bolt is metal studs like (spit) for example, but I must be wrong. And I don't find any by the way we set these anchor  studs by the resistance data and the axial or shear prestress, but no length value

Thanks for the tutorials, I'll look into it

To follow-up,

I would also like to validate my choisx in the diameter of the anchor stud but is it possible?

See this link for the strength of Hilti anchor studs

for the calculation of the strength of your beam with its plates

I think you just have to create a constraint of a solidary face fixed to your concrete wall

but you don't have to create this wall or the studs

it's the contact of your 2 turntables that is fixed and that supports your IPE

Have you watched the tutorials?

Thank you GT 22

Just a little clarification,

Should I put a fixed contact on the face of my plates, or should I put them in the holes that correspond to the anchor studs, because by doing the two simulations the results are very different

I think I've answered your question about the contact of the fixed faces

what is the difference between your 2 studies in %

can you post them?

Did the tutorials help you?

Here is the file

There's something wrong, but I don't know what

Hello @Syltab

Your file is not good because you only attached the ASM and without the parts that make it up we can't display anything

You have to do File==> Pack and GO and select all the parts in a ZIP.

Also select the result of your simulation if you want to have an opinion on it as well. I sense a problem with your bolt connectors: given the content of the exchange.

Kind regards

Hello

Digging up a topic from March 2015, I think the topic has been solved all this time!!

Hello d.roger

Oupsss! I didn't pay attention to the date.

What I have noticed for several weeks are inexplicable diggings. Inexplicable in the sense that there is no new issue that brings him back to the front line.

I would be a little more careful.

Thank you for being more attentive than me ;-)

Kind regards

Hello Zozo_mp,

Yes, I noticed that too with some digging up that includes links that you don't really dare to click on!!

Kind regards
