- Washer types are assigned to bolt types in Washer Settings . The first grade that you enter for a washer of a particular type (on this window, not in Washer Settings ) is the grade that is assigned when connections are designed and bolts are added through matching holes . It is also the grade that is applied for a particular bolt type when you Add Bolts or Add Bolts to Single Ply or Add Point to Point .
- For example, if the Washer Settings window designates that ' Flat ' washers be used for a particular bolt type and the first material that is listed on this window for ' Flat ' washers is ' F436 ', then that ' F436 ' is the material of that washer.
- Any material that has been entered for a selected type (' Hardened ' or ' Bevel ' or ' Load ' or etc.) can be selected on the list box (
) for a washer of that " Grade " on the Bolt Edit window. This allows you to use washers of the same type, but different grades, in the same Job.
