2.3.2.5 Tightening Required

The Tightening Required parameter determines whether the screw must be tightened using a torque-capable tool, such as a torque wrench or an electric drill with torque functionality.

When enabled:

  • The screw cannot be fully tightened just by rotating it.

  • A specific torque value must be applied using the appropriate tool.

  • Additional parameters like Torque Target and Init Tightening Angle become relevant.

This simulates real-world scenarios where certain screws must meet specific torque requirements for safety or functional reasons. When Tightening Required is disabled, the screw behaves like a standard rotatable element and can be fully fastened without torque control.
