Presentation of Design Results

BBJ software provides the user with three different ways to look at the computed results. Figure 1 shows the tabular form of presentation of computed failure loads for a multifastener bolted joint. The mode of failure at each bolt location is also shown in this case. Figure 2 shows an x-y graph of the calculated stresses and the stresses along the bondline in a bonded lap joint. A color-coded legend bar which corresponds with the color
coding of upper and lower adherends and adhesive makes it easy to add or delete a particular stress component. Further, one can view multiple x-y plots on the same screen and print them out for making reports. In addition, one can always view the ASCII text version of the computed results and print them out.
