Friction Drilled/Tapped Holes

Friction Drilled/Tapped Holes Modeling Rules

When a cylindrical flange shape element is detected, it will be identified as a friction drilled/tapped hole.

Modeling Rules Example
The inner diameter (d) should follow the same rules as for Tapped Hole Identification described above. Model the flange height (h) and thickness (t) to be less than or equal to the plate thickness. Example

Friction Drilled/Tapped Hole Size Selection

Friction drilled/tapped holes cannot be selected for perforated metals, shims or resin.
