Hi Ashish, thank you for link, I have seen it before, example from video is very simple - without any contacts and bolts. Here my point of interest is related to bolted connection, I would like to change plate thickness, bolts size and bolt preload value, global model is huge and solving lasts few hours. Could you please point me why bolt preload does not work as expected? Expected are status and pressure visible on last two pics - coming from global model and indicating there is clamping force from pretension applied.

Regards
