Bolted connections

As one of the most frequently used connecting elements, the bolted connection is increasingly becoming the focus of verification.

MDESIGN supports you with estimations, designs, drafts, but especially with optimizations, verifications and force calculations.

Design secure bolted connections based on the VDI 2230, Eurocode 3 or DIN guidelines.
