Hello,

In my analysis model, two plate and a fastener exists (as a beam). When I apply bolt pre-tension to the beam element, plates are seperating. However, it should squize the plates. I thought that it might be a visual problem because when i checked with the contact tool, the contact seems appropriate.

 

Edit:

I checked with bolt pretension probe, and adjusment reaction (mm) has a minus sign. 

Any suggestions ? 

Thanks in advance

Hi

 

See how this can be done here:

Also the beam connection can be used
