5.3 Rivet Analysis (rivets)

Purpose: Multi-rivet shear and bearing screening.

Method: Closed-form — load per rivet, bearing on plate, shear in shank.

Design codes: Indicative shear and bearing safety factors.

UI: Legacy layout; unit profile.

Gaps: No pitch/edge distance checks; no fatigue.


Maintainer note: Limited parameter surface and easy migration path.
