Warning
This here is a debugging tool I left in because I took the time to code it up so why not?
It is not your friend. It's about as user friendly as a pair of plutonium underwear.
You need to know exactly what you're doing. Everything needs to be entered in with the correct units.
Proceed with extra caution at your own extreme peril.
Warning: This bolted joint calculator is incomplete and in the beta testing stage. Do not use it for critical calculations. Double-check any results with hand calculations. Unforeseen bugs may exist. Use at your own risk. If I run out of other things to do, I'll come back and work on it some more, but for now, I'm bored of bug hunting. This project got out of hand.
