This software assists in designing and verifying the strength of prestressed bolt connections under static or cyclic loads. It works with both Imperial and Metric units and adheres to ANSI/AGMA and ISO/DIN standards. It is also compatible with various 2D and 3D CAD systems.
This software review is focused on a comprehensive calculation program designed for the geometrical design and strength check of prestressed bolt connections that experience static or cyclic loading in both the bolt axis and plane of the connected components. Developed specifically for use in MS Excel, this application is multi-language and supports both Imperial and Metric units.
The software handles a range of critical tasks, including automatic design of standard connection bolts, calculation and verification of connections fitted with special shanks, and the design and calculation of necessary mounting prestressing of the connection and fastening torque. The program also calculates force conditions for loaded connections and provides both static and dynamic strength checks.
An important feature of the software is the ability to calculate joint parameters for specific working temperatures, while also including a table of commonly used materials of bolts and connected parts according to a range of standards, including AISI/SAE, DIN, BS, AF, ISO, SAE, ASTM, and others. In addition, this software is compatible with many 2D CAD systems, including AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, TurboCAD, and BricsCAD.
The calculation modules in this software use specialized literature and adhere to a range of industry standards, including ANSI, ISO, and DIN. These standards include ANSI B1.1, ANSI 273, ANSI B18.2.1, ANSI B18.2.2, ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.6.2, ANSI B18.6.3, ANSI B18.22.1, ASTM A193, ASTM A307, ASTM A320, ASTM A325, ASTM A354, ASTM A449, ASTM A453, ASTM A490, ASTM A574, ASTM F568M, ASTM F593, ASTM F2281, SAE J429f, ISO 273, ISO 1207, ISO 4016, ISO 4032, ISO 4035, ISO 4762, ISO 8738, ISO 8839, EN ISO 898, EN ISO 3506, EN 10269, EN 28839, VDI 2230.
This module is just one part of the MITCalc - Mechanical and Technical Calculation Package, which offers an extensive range of specialized modules for gear, belt and chain drives, springs, beam, shaft, bolt connection, shaft connection, tolerances, and many other critical engineering calculations.
