Build A Grip, a mechanical-testing hardware configurator
A browser-based configurator sizes custom clevis grips, threaded adapters, and pull rods from specimen geometry, load, temperature, and thread details.
Field notes
The configurator begins with specimen-end geometry rather than a preselected hardware catalog: users provide width, thickness, pin-hole diameter, and edge distance, then add load and temperature conditions. The visible choices include three grip-body alloys, three temperature ranges, three load levels up to 100 kN, and several metric and imperial thread interfaces. The stated deliverables include an AP214 solid, a two-sheet A3 drawing, and a JSON record of the selected parameters.
