Connections & Joints Simulators

Apply Volkersen linear and Hart-Smith elastic-plastic models to compute shear and peel stress in single-lap bonded joints. Parametric study of overlap length and adheren…

Resolve eccentric shear in a bolt group into direct shear, moment-induced force, maximum bolt force, and utilization.

Calculate the combined von Mises stress of axial tension and torsion at a bolt thread root during tightening, from ISO thread, property class, preload and friction.

Calculate bolt stress, safety factor & allowable load instantly. Enter bolt diameter, grade, quantity & applied loads for your CAE design verification.

Design bolted pipe flanges per ASME Sec.VIII. Calculate bolt load for gasket seating, operating conditions, leakage margin, and bolt stress.

Design the bearing pressure a steel column base plate delivers to its concrete foundation. Vary the axial load, moment and plate size and watch the eccentricity, the ker…

Design the parallel (sunk) key that transmits torque from a shaft to a hub — a gear, pulley or coupling. Change the power, speed and key dimensions to see the shear stre…

Design the straight-sided spline shafts that carry large torque from a shaft to a hub (gear or coupling). Adjust the power, speed, major and minor diameter, tooth count …

Calculate bolt slip capacity and weld strength in real time. Visualize bolt patterns and identify the governing failure mode with this steel connection design tool.
