4.3 MATL (material) – Menu
UNITS: Toggle between English and Metric units and multiple resolutions for each
unit ( IN - .0001, INHR - .00001, or MM - .001, MMHR - .0001 ), Using the
abbreviation HR to represent High Resolution.
TYPE: Select the bolt material type from a preset list of material types. Each type
contains a velocity, stress factor, and temperature factor. When a type is selected,
these values are displayed in the sub menu items below and can be edited by the
user at anytime.
VELOCITY: This feature allows the user to edit the material velocity at anytime.
Once a material type is selected, the velocity of the selected material type is stored in
this sub menu item and can be edited a by the user if necessary.
STRESS FACTOR: This feature allows the user to edit the stress factor at anytime.
Once a material type is selected, the stress factor of the selected material type is
stored in this sub menu item and can be edited by the user if necessary. Refer to

TEMP COEF: This feature allows the user to edit the material temperature coefficient
at anytime. Once a material type is selected, the temperature coefficient of the
selected material is stored in this sub menu item and can be edited by the user if
necessary. Refer to page 103 for further info.
4.4 GEOM (geometry) – Menu
QUANTITY: Selectable units of measure in terms of TIME, ELONGATION, LOAD,
STRESS, and % STRAIN. Refer to page 123 for further info.
LOAD FACTOR: The conversion factor from elongation to Load. This value is
typically determined by performing a field calibration and running a regression or
