In this workshop, participants gain in-depth insights into bolt calculation according to VDI 2230. The course begins with the fundamental principles of bolts, followed by a detailed introduction to VDI 2230, illustrated with numerous practical examples. eAssistant and TBK 2014 are used to support the learning process.
This seminar is designed for young professionals, experienced engineers, designers, and technicians seeking to deepen their knowledge in bolt design and calculation.
