Bolt calculation according VDI 2230

Features

  • Single-bolted joints under axial and transverse load and flange connections (multi-bolted) can be determined.
  • Bolted joints can be defined according to individual requirements.
  • Different tightening techniques are available, for example angle-controlled and yield-controlled tightening.
  • Based on the selected tightening technique, the tightening factor is set automatically.
  • The module provides the possibility to modify the utilization of the yield point (e.g., for 100 percent instead of 90 percent).
  • Tapped thread joints and through bolted joints can be selected from a drop-down menu.
  • Selection of clamped parts with basic solid geometry, the load introduction and force application. Illustrations help to better understand the geometry.
  • The software module proposes a nominal diameter.
  • All important results will be calculated during every input and will be displayed in the result panel.
  • Detailed calculation report in HTML and PDF format
