Working load

Symbol FB
Unit N
Attribute-ID vdi_2230_operating_force
Numeric ID 19354
Value Type PMTechValue

In a multi-bolt connection, the working load FB is the tensile force acting on a connecting point. The force initially acts in the axial direction. For non-rotationally symmetrical connections, a force application angle and a height above the interface can also be specified for the operating force. To do so, the "Diagonal tension loaded" switch must be activated. In this case, the tilting moments in the interface are calculated automatically and cannot be user specified.
