Dear Support,
I am using ARSA 2015 SP3 WIN 7 PRO.
In some bolt database like:
the bolt yield stress fyb of some bolt classes are not conform to NF EN 1993 1-8 table 3.1.
see the following value of fyb for bolt class 8.8 in RSA:
this value is different from fyb=640 Mpa found in table 3.1.
I made some tests and found that some bolt class fyb values are correct the other are not.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

NF is for CM66. Use ISO database instead.

You are right Artur, the EN ISO bolt database has valid yield stress values !
But I suggest that software gives some warnings of the database incompatibility with the used code (We have the same name of the bolt type between NF and the EN ISO ; Example Bolt class 8.8 ; 4.6....)
Thank you very much.
