On the ribbon, click the Design tab, Fasten panel, select any Pin Generator. On the Calculation tab, click next to the Service Factor edit field.

Pernament Fit

Specifies the overall effect of manufacturing and operational parameters upon connection loading capacity reduction in terms of allowable deformation of contact surfaces. Its value depends on the pin type and connection loading character. With regards to the mentioned parameters, the literature gives values of the coefficient in a range from 1 to 3.

Running Fit

Specifies the overall effect of manufacturing and operational parameters upon reduction of the loading capacity of a pin loaded with shearing or bending stress. Its value depends on the pin type and connection loading character. With regards to the mentioned parameters, the literature gives values of the coefficient in a range from 1 to 3.

OK

Confirms the selection and closes the dialog box. Includes the value in the calculation.

Cancel

Closes the dialog box.
