MDESIGN bolt, VDI 2230

The calculation origin of the module Bolt Calculation is the guideline VDI 2230 Part 1: 20 15-11 "Systematic calculation of high duty
bolted joints - joints with one cylindrical bolt".
At that, the assembly preload FM of the bolt serves as a basic selection test for the bolt nominal diameter.

Minimum residual clamp load FKRmin = 121767.86 N
NOTE:
The permissible assembly preload at RT FMzul is exceeded.
By tightening the bolt is overloaded, that's why all results beginning
from the Working stress are not significant anymore.
The larger bolt diameter or higher strength grade is to be selected.
If it is impossible another mounting method is to be taken or
the rubbing to be reduced.

The minimum residual clamp load FKRmin is smaller than the required minimum clamp load FKerf.
The opening of the joint is possible!
