Thanks for the reply.

For applying Bolt pretension, local coordinate system is to be created, right? 

So, while the local coordinate system is created, should we select the whole bolt body Or just the bolt shank that starts from Upper surface of first and ends at lower surface of second plate (So, here the surface split from lower surface of second plate/start of nut to the end of nut is excluded) ? 

Thanks
