Abaqus Extension for Threaded Connections

The Threaded Connection Modeler (TCM) streamlines the generation of two-dimensional threaded connection models from within Abaqus/CAE. This application provides a model-tree based approach to defining all aspects of the threaded connection model such as thread forms, pin geometry and box geometry. Downloadable files are made available below.
