Bolt Pre tension and joint simulation using ABAQUS/std

(OP)
Hello everybody. I am Trying to run the contact analysis  of a bolted joint While giving the pretension to the bolts.I have defined the pretension in step 1 using Bolt load and in the second step i have applied the external load using Pressure on one side, and i have a doubt whether i should go with pretension step or external load step for boundary conditions where i need to fix the other end of lap joint. looking forward for your reply. Thanks.
