Bolt check conclusion

In the following sheets the bolt utilization relative to allowable level is calculated in percent:
105%
100% - utilization and above 100% is marked with red color
100%
95%
90% - 100% utilization is marked with orange color - from yellow to red
92%
88%
50% 0% - 90% utilization is marked with green color - from green to yellow
0%

Conclusions:
The bolt name b_ can be identified in the figures in the Definitions sheet, but too high loaded connections are also shown as red asterisks in the figure below.
