Contact in 3D steel connection

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to model a 3D steel connection between a beam and another beam, or a beam and a column, the most difficult part which i'm looking for is how to model the contact between the bolt and the plate, also contacts between the bolt and washer bolt .
Thank you very much for your help my friends :)

Try the General contact algorithm its a lot simpler than defining contact pairs.
