MDESIGN Seminar
Force determination in
Bolt fields
in accordance with VDI 2230 Sheet 2
With this online seminar, you will learn how to significantly improve the reliability and efficiency
of your multi-bolt connections in accordance with VDI2230 Sheet 2, while at the same time
at the same time taking costs and safety requirements into account.
The training teaches you everything you need to know about the design and calculation of
of highly loaded bolt arrays.

This seminar is included free of charge if you register for the seminar "Bolted connections - design, selection and optimization" (VDI 2230 Sheet 1) by 31 May 2025.
The link for free participation in "Force determination in bolt fields" (VDI 2230 Sheet 2) will be sent to you automatically by e-mail.
If you are unable to attend the date offered, you can also attend the seminar in the next semester - as soon as the new dates are published.
These topics await you...
The seminar deals specifically with the VDI 2230 Sheet 2 guideline.
You will gain an insight into the guideline-compliant design
and determination of forces in bolt fields. Through practice-oriented examples
you will learn the special features of the determination of forces and the
the relationship between VDI 2230 Part 1 and Part 2.
