Bolts, bolted connection & designing to the x condition

Bolts, bolted connection & designing to the x condition

It would be nice if bolts had a line or some sort of indicator that gave a visual representation of where threads stopped on each bolt/bolted connection.

 

Designing to the X condition... A325X = Bearing-type connection with threads excluded from the shear plane.

 

Currently we still have to stop, check diameter, reference a table/memory, and place a measurement to confirm each connection meets the engineering.

 

It would also be nice if this was built into the macro, and a contextual drop down allowed us to choose between the connection types.

 

 

FYI:

A325 Connection Types SC N X

Slip critical connection.
Bearing type connection with threads included in the shear plane.
Bearing-type connection with threads excluded from the shear plane.

It is amazing how something so important is overlooked and put aside.
