Input Properties:
• Maximum allowable total load
• Rib Web Profile
Properties Derived from Tables:
• Load per bolt
• Min. Edge Clearance
• Min. Bolt to Bolt Clearance
Calculated Properties:
Number of bolts
Optimization (Gradient-Based)
Design Variables:
X and Y Position of each Bolt
Constraints:
• Min. Edge Clearance (a): The center of every
bolt must be positioned at a distance >= a from
the joint surface edge.
• Min. Bolt to Bolt Clearance (b): The center of
every bolt must be positioned at a distance >= b
from the center of every other bolt
Objective:
Minimize the length of the joint surface.
