Hello, 

You can refer this Structural Simulation using Bolt Idealization - Ansys Knowledge article to learn how to define bolts to accurately account for the load transfer between parts in an assembly and therefore compute the stress and deformation of your assembly. 

Let me know if you need further assistance. 

Regards,
