This is a guidance document on the techniques and considerations when carrying out finite element analysis (FEA) of bolted flange connections.
This document has become necessary because the existing calculation method for bolted flange connections, although comprehensive, is too long and complex.
This document is considering recent developments in desk top computer power and finite element analysis (FEA) software products.
