Bolted connections

Screw connections, bolts and pins are essential components in construction technology. Their correct design and calculation is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of structures. With MDESIGN, we offer you powerful software solutions that enable precise calculations and efficiently master complex technical challenges.

The importance of screw connections, bolts and pins in construction

Screw connections, bolts and pins are used in numerous mechanical constructions, from simple machines to complex engineering structures. These fasteners contribute significantly to structural integrity by holding parts together and distributing forces evenly. Incorrect design can lead to joint failure, which can have serious consequences.

Calculating the correct dimensions, materials and tightening torques is therefore essential. Our MDESIGN software supports you in these tasks by carrying out precise calculations and helping you to find optimum solutions for every application.

 

Advantages of the MDESIGN software solution for bolted joints

The MDESIGN software offers comprehensive calculation options for screw connections, bolts and pins based on current standards and best practices. Our software takes into account all relevant influencing factors such as load types, temperature, material properties and preload forces.

The main functions include:

  • Calculation of permissible forces: determine the maximum load on your fasteners quickly and precisely.
  • Dimensioning and material selection: Find the optimum dimensions and materials for your specific application.
  • Simulation of load cases: Analyze different scenarios to ensure the safety and efficiency of your design.
  • Integration in CAD systems: Facilitate the transfer of calculation results to your CAD system for seamless further processing.

Practical applications and advantages

Our software is used in various industries, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and aerospace engineering.

One example is the use of MDESIGN in the automotive industry to calculate the bolts in engine blocks that have to withstand high thermal and mechanical loads. Thanks to the precise simulation and design, potential weak points can be identified and rectified at an early stage.
