Bolt Length cannot be calculated

Hello All,

I created a new flanged end prep type, joint type, end prep type  ISO map, it works fine in OPM and ISO.

The content I created, I copied from standard flange, all contents are almost same as standard flange except the end prep type (FL Vs. FNG)

The problem is the bolt length cannot be calculated if my end prep type FNG used. I am guessing when OPM calculate bolt length, it may not get flange_thickness since it is a new end type which OPM doesn't know it. How OPM get flange_thickness?

  • Hi Changsong,

    We have several wiki articles on Bolt Length calculation which will give you an idea on how is bolt length calculated. One of them is given below:

    Can you provide some more details about the issue like if you are not getting the bolts at all or the length of the bolts is not correct?

    Regards,
