Hello, I followed the tutorial for modeling a T-shaped fitting working in bolted tension on a rigid support. The calculation results give me inconsistent deformations of the plates, as if there were a rupture in one of the tension members. Could you please tell me what my mistake is?

Hello Justin_Lcgn,
The reason for the different behavior of the nonlinear linear bearings lies in their different orientation (Image 1). The linear bearing is directly coupled with the linear orientation. By reversing two of the linear orientations, the deformation behavior shown in Image 2 results with the setting "Failure if pz positive."
