BOLTS is not a Workbench, but it is installed like a workbench because it needs a directory. Thus to start BOLTS you need to run the macro start BOLTS.
It is on a TODO to make a real Workbench out of BOLTS, but this never happend.

would you post your FreeCAD info?
Would you try in FreeCAD python console and post the output:
Would you have a look at your user Mod directory? Is there a directory named BOLTSFC. Has it some contents?

wow I did not know about this. It even works with python.
Anyway, BOLTS could work with any CAD which does have a Python API. ATM only FreeCAD and OpenSCAD are supported very well. I did implement in a PoC a AddOn for Nemetschek Allplan which worked out too. It means once put in all the data and use it in multiple CAD environments. Ahh it is even presented on the internet too.

Welcome back from holiday bernd! Indeed I would be interested in bolts more than the spreadsheet feature since I plan to implement this in IFC.
Would it be possible to schedule a call?
I also blog about 3D rendering, architecture, software and other on
