Bolt Styles
Used to parametrically add individual bolts, nuts, washers, and holes to model bolted connections.
Accessed from: Bolting of component parts is the easiest form of automatic connections provided by ProStructures. In previous versions, components to be bolted, had to be drilled first. It is still possible to continue working with the existing combination of drilling and bolting. You can optionally create your own "user-defined" bolt styles, and check and update bolting with logical links. After all bolt components and styles are selected, the tool checks the position of the parts for bolting (if need be, with regard to drill holes which are situated one above the other and having an allowable tolerance; but does not check for mounting). After the bolt lengths are calculated and the bolts with default settings and washer types are set, the bolt style is adopted into a parts list.Dialog Controls
