In IDEA StatiCa, Bolt import is aligned with Bolt Assemblies with other library items like cross-sections and materials, providing consistent functionality across CAD BIM links. This simplifies the import, conversion, and clarity of Bolt Assemblies and Pins.

Bolt Assemblies are automatically named based on the original CAD applicationโ€™s bolt assembly name, eliminating the need for manual renaming.

When the bolt size in the CAD model is defined in imperial units, the imperial sizing is also used in IDEA StatiCa instead of being translated to the metric system.ย 

Additionally, if the conversion of an imported bolt assembly is not processed automatically, Bolt Assemblies and Pins can be loaded directly from the IDEA StatiCa library in the Conversion tab. This is beneficial for CAD projects that lack data for bolt dimensions.

For export, both Bolt Assemblies and Pins are fully exported with all design information.
