Hi,

It seems the issue lies with the geometry to which the load is being applied. 

Same issue was reported earlier in the below links

What is the cause of following warning message?: "The pretension load was not able to be applied. Make sure the load was not applied to a hole and that the load is not applied more than once per surface." - Ansys Knowledge

Please make sure the pretension is being applied to cylindrical part.

Thanks
