Set the size and type of your bolt in the standard properties box. If you don't have a standard bolt, select the choice as close as possible to your bolt. Then move the sliders to adjust the parameters to fit your bolt.

The default friction values are suitable for non lubricated steel bolts.
The calculated values (at the top of the calculator, in red) are the maximum recommended values, based on 90% of yield. If you want to know the torque needed to generate a lower load, vary the Yield parameter until the desired load appears. The corresponding torque can then be read out.
