Pulling Exercise - SIMULATION

Hello

I am trying to study the pull of a tie rod:

I put an imposed displacement in the left hole and efforts in the right hole.

The deformation is only on the hole on the right.

How to make the simulation study more realistic with the 2 holes deformed in the same way, which is what really happens?

Thank you

on the left it would be necessary to have a "Bearing type support" it seems to me

One can use "dividing line" on the left hole to create a smaller, more real bearing surface.

@olivier42: by replacing "Fixed geometry" with "Bearing type support", the solver ends up failing.

@PhilippeB: The idea is to cut the left part in the center of the hole? I will try.

The deformation is weird though:

Half of the left part does not deform

By further reducing the bearing surface on the left side of the hole, the deformation would be more realistic.

There I reduced a lot:

A little too much even...

This is a little better by splitting in the center of the part to put a fixed geometry:

Hello,

Reproduce the reality, i.e. model the axis with the clearance if there is any (assembly), recess the 2 ends of the axis and add a contact between the axis and the drilling

Prevent the link from rotating around the axle or slide the axle log by adding supports

@acombier,

The idea is to put the tie rod in its context (Assembly) and then to manage with simulation the pull of it?

I created 2 supports at the 2 ends of the tie rod.

Then I put the top support and the effort in the bottom support in fixed geometry.

We have the tie rod stretching in 2 directions this time
