Hi,
Could you send a picture about your problem? In Ansys WB you can give bolt pretension to only cylindrical feature and line bodies. Could you check that if your bolt geometry is cylindrical or not.
Hi,
Mostly you can use pure penalty method for both bonded and no separation contact but especially if you use contact between face/edge or edge/edge mpc method is more useful and efficient. Augmented Lagrange method is default option in Ansys for non linear contact such as frictional...
