Stress distribution in the bolted connection is not as expected. The stress concentration should be at the location of the holes. Unfortunately, automatic meshing glues the surfaces that touch each other.
i appreciate the effort you put in the video. It is however very misleading and not correct. when you use the "Automatic Contact Detection" Command, Inventor will automatic do the calculations assuming all the surfaces in contact with one another as if they are welding together !

exactly, i was looking for an example that takes this into account.
You mean "automatic contact detection", right? It's in the study setup and is "bonded" as default.
Excente!!!! , Muchas gracias !!!!!
Thank you, but what if I want to put a distributed load along the beam?

it is impossible to model the bolted connections properly in Inventor, because You can't model friction and pre-tension in bolts.
