@davidgruty : Screws are categorized by their manufacturing quality. Suppose that quality of the screw in this video is 8.8. That means screw can carry of maximum Sy=8*8=640N/mm^2 tensile stress. If the screw's pitch diameter is dp=10.8mm, then S=640/f.o.s F=S/10.8 f.o.s: factor of safety. This is not the only way of calculating clamping force. Please refer to a mechanical design book.
@davidgruty: I didn't calculate the forces for this video but they can be calculated by screw's diameter and material. If screw's material and diameter has known, the clamp force can be calculated. You can find such formulas for calculations in machine design books. Google this "calculating bolt torque"

whats the name of the tool box for the virtual bolt tightening ? im trying to find it manually
It's being used in Generative Structural Analysis Workbench. I don't know its particular toolbox.
how do i check insufficient restraints? i would like to analyze shock absorber
It will give an error if there is not enough restraints. You should be sure the model will not move in x, y and z directions freely.
@mecharon I see. Thank you very much. I'll check in books
Please help: when I go to Analysis workbench, not all parts are given mesh cases - any ideas as to why?
@alexistrash : All parts have to be material applied. Check that every part has material assigned.
@mecharon material? don't you mean the pressure?
force = pressure / section
@mecharon
I have found out what was wrong: parts were not under the main body so not all of them had mesh set up.
nice video
how did you know the screws force?
thanks for video.
@mecharon : I have found out what was wrong, apparently the parts were not under the same main body.
