Angle to the grain of the steel-to-timber connections

This article is also available in
ENCSDEITNL

Since 22.0.1 it has been possible to see the resultant grain angle for the bolt check.

Angle to the grain (in particular parallel and perpendicular) is used in timber checks of nails, screws, and bolts. Timber is orthotropic and the angle to the grain is extremely important. This helps users with their subsequent checks of timber connections.
