Hello ketan

Your question is very specific - not of general interest to other forum members. I suggest you send me the details in a personal email. You can send the PDF's and your request (repeat the information in your forum details) to: techsupport@coade.com

If i use no code and just think simple its recommended to reckon with Wind and other situation what can occur on plantl ifting.

The strength in the the bolts you can take it like a radial force.

Total weight/ square millimeters bolt availble. = N/mm2
You can use this force for Wm1/Wm2 in Coade calculations to estimate the orginated force.

For the lifting lugs, you can use pvelite (wrc107/297) or you can use Nozzlepro/FeMap for a finet element method.

(sorry for my bad english)
