A pass — over-pull—

B pass — 100%—

At 50% coverage (tensioners on alternating studs) the A pass over-pulls by the cross-load factor to land at 100% after the B studs relax it; tap “Tightening pattern” for the A/B map. At 100% coverage (a cell on every stud) it’s a single 100% pull. Max tool pressure / load limits shown when selected.

Default torque is computed on the root area (the app's standard basis). Values reproduce the Flangemate app engine exactly. This is a reference tool — verify against the governing joint spec, gasket data sheet, and your site's bolt-up procedure (e.g. ASME PCC-1) before field use.
