  Hi All,
  I am trying to Get force reaction on the bolts of this model. I have watched some videos and read some, but something is wrong in my setup.

  You should change this to a 2 step solution.
  You should add a Bolt Pretension load to each bolt.
  You should use a Bolt Calculator to convert the Bolt Torque to a Bolt Pretension.
  Step 1 will load the bolts with a specified pretension value and all other loads will be zero.
  Step 2 will Lock the pretension into the bolt and apply the other loads to the system.
  In the Results, you can insert a Bolt Tool and request the Bolt Working Loads.
