We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Applying Bolt Pretesnion using a Load (force) with non-linear contact can be very difficult to converge. 
I would apply the pretension as small Length (distance) to make sure your contact is set correctly. You can read the resulting force as needed.
