Bolt Pretension

      Red surface is pretensioned. is it okay to set a frictional contact between the edge highlighted in green with that pretensioned surface? 

      i am trying to figure out what to do with the bolt shaft and how it contacts the sheet metal holes. Can i run this without any contact?

      1. yes
      2. sure, assuming there is another part in the model that is not shown in the above image, so no scope of rigid body motion.
