JSAM4: ACM2 EQUIVALENT RIVET VALUE.

This JSAM4 tool calculates the equivalent self-piercing rivet diameter ( ESRD) that would be used in place of a weld diameter, in the ACM2/NASTRAN program.

APPLICATION: This value is of particular significance when accurate determination of the car body torsional stiffness.

JOINT INPUT VARIABLES: Accepts Rivet geometry variables.

OUTPUT: Calculates the ESRD.
