Please note that when connecting tension-loaded components with bolted connections, you need to consider the cross-section reduction due to the bolt holes in the ultimate limit state design. But don't worry, this can be easily done in the program. In the Steel Design add-on, you can enter a member local section reduction – and that's it. You can enter the reduction of the cross-section as an absolute value or as a percentage of the total area at all relevant locations.
