Make sure the load was not applied to a hole and that the load is not applied more than once per surface or on different surfaces of the same body.&lt;br&gt;No pretension elements have been created. Please consider adjust the tolerance of the bolt pretension load.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can&#8217;t I do it like this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/10-04-2026-1775838827-bolt.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-456255","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-bolt"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["456255"],"_bbp_author_ip":["210.125.124.250"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["456785"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["456785"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-04-20 20:09:22"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["673769","99"],"_btv_view_count":["72"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_lock":["1776323092:673769"],"_bbp_subscription":["99"]},"test":"giheon0915office-pknu-ac-kr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/456255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/456255\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
