Dimension bolt connections with maximum safety and reduce the calculation times for the execution of complex strength verifications. Use the market-leading digital tool for efficient bolt calculation in accordance with accepted engineering practices, MDESIGN bolt. Here, the library includes a wide variety of tools for bolt calculation depending on the use case: MDESIGN bolt offers engineers in mechanical and plant engineering the possibility of calculating bolt connections which are subject to high stress in accordance with VDI guideline 2230 systematically and in accordance with the standards. For users in steel construction, MDESIGN bolt includes recognised proof methods in accordance with the Eurocode 3 standards (e.g. DIN EN 1993-1-8) in order to safely design and measure bolt connections made from steel.
Pre-dimensioning and detailed calculation
Whether for a new design or further development of existing designs - you can choose from a variety of methods for bolt calculation in accordance with VDI 2230 within MDESIGN bolt. Simple design calculation allows you - by entering the axial force and the lateral force where applicable - to determine the bolt diameter, as well as the minimum and maximum preload force. If greater forces are to be transmitted and failure of the component may have serious consequences, detailed calculation in accordance with VDI 2230 with the help of “extended calculation” is necessary.
