    The document describes new bolt length calculation capabilities in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2013. A single bolt set can now be defined with a table of standard lengths. The software calculates the correct bolt length based on the flange thickness defined for the flange and bolt set. If the flange and bolt set thicknesses differ, it subtracts the bolt set thickness from the bolt length and adds the flange thickness to determine the length. It then selects the next possible standard bolt length.

    Bolt Length Calculations in Plant 3D 2013


    Bolt length calculations are new to AutoCAD Plant 3D 2013. Instead of having to define multiple bolt sets in a spec, a single set can now be defined together with a table of standard lengths. The FlangeThickness values defined for a flange and the bolt set are then used to determine the correct bolt length for a given flange joint. If both values are equal, or one is not set, and its not a wafer component the bolt length defined inside the bolt set is used. If the values are different, the bolt set FlangeThickness is subtracted from the bolt set bolt length and the flange FlangeThickness is added. The next possible standard bolt length is then selected. If no standard length is available, the bolt length is rounded up to the next 10 mm.

    This facilitates correct bolt set selection where flanges of different sheet thickness are connected which have the same PressureClass, NominalDiameter and Facing. As an example, looking at the 10HS01 spec, it can be seen that the DN50 flange has a defined FlangeThickness of 18mm.

    Looking at the bolt set definition in the same spec, it can be seen that for a DN50 nominal diameter the defined bolt length of 87mm is for a given FlangeThickness of 20mm.

    As the bolt set FlangeThickness and the flange FlangeThickness are different a calculation is required. Assuming both flanges are equal, the bolt length is calculated to be: 87.0 20.0 20.0 + 18.0 + 18.0 = 83.0

    Looking at the bolt standard, the next possible standard bolt length is 85mm. Similarly, for

    DN100 -> 95.0 24.0 24.0 + 20.0 + 20.0 = 87.0 -> next standard bolt length is 90.0 DN125 -> 99.0 26.0 26.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 = 91.0 -> next standard bolt length is 95.0 DN150 -> 112.0 28.0 28.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 = 100.0 -> next standard bolt length is 100.0
