Mesh

  A very fine mesh was used for every model in order to make the results as accurate as possible

Model constrains

  A fixed support is given to the top two holes and force is applied to the top face of the nut. Same

approach was followed in every model. 

  Stress and deformation results were obtained from the simulations
