Reaction forces on nut surface are not equal and lesser than the bolt pretension applied

      The contact should be checked properly. The nut surface has bonded contact with flange and the same face shares the edge with another bonded contact between nut & bolt. It is recommended to create proper contact. Split the faces so that contact and target face should become one-to-one match.
