In mechanical and plant engineering, more than 90% of detachable joints are made using bolts. The strength verification of these joints is an essential part of a calculation engineer’s work. If the products in question also include an enormous number of these joints and, at the same time, many load cases, the required effort increases almost immeasurably, as the location of the most highly loaded bolt can also vary depending on the load case. If you are unlucky, some of these bolts will not withstand the respective loads, and larger bolts or bolts of different strength classes must be used—then the whole process starts again from the beginning. The solution: FAST+MORE
