Create Upset Bolt form.

In Assembly Creator, upset bolts are defined with five parameters: Name, Vertical Strength, Transverse Strength, Longitudinal Strength, and Length.

Name

Unique identifier for the upset bolt. If you attempt to create an upset bolt with a name that already exists, a popup will warn of the issue when you click Create. You must provide a unique name before Assembly Creator will create the bolt.

Vertical Strength

The amount of upward or downward force the bracket can withstand before failing.

Transverse Strength

The maximum force directed towards or away from the pole that the component can withstand before failing.

Longitudinal Strength

The maximum force directed perpendicular to the pole that the component can withstand before failing.

Length

The length of the bracket from the surface of the pole to the insulator attachment point.
