Screw calculation according to VDI 2230: Efficient & safe with MDESIGN

Precise and standard-compliant bolt calculation - with MDESIGN mechanical. Our software module supports the design and verification of bolts, pins and screw connections in accordance with VDI 2230, Eurocode 3 and DIN. Benefit from fast, reliable and efficient bolt calculation in your design practice.

The calculation of bolts according to VDI 2230 is an essential part of the design of safe connections in construction technology. Incorrect calculations can have serious consequences, which is why precise calculations for dimensioning, tightening torque and material selection are essential. MDESIGN provides engineers with a software solution that supports them efficiently and in compliance with standards.

MDESIGN offers a powerful platform for the standard-compliant calculation of screw connections, bolts and pins. All relevant influencing factors such as loads, temperature and preload are taken into account. With practical features such as CAD integration, simulation of load cases and graphical evaluation, bolt calculation is not only safer, but also saves time.

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.

Calculation variants according to VDI 2230 and more

The software covers various calculation variants: quick designs, detailed verifications in accordance with VDI 2230 and Eurocode 3 as well as extensions using the finite element method (FEM). An integrated 3D assistant ensures the correct input of boundary conditions and promotes efficient work.

Practical use cases from industry and technology

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

One example of the use of MDESIGN in bolt calculations is in the automotive industry to calculate the bolts in engine blocks, which 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.
