nWhat I understand is that, the bolt is given a pretension until the tensile force reaches 2000-3000N. Also, I believe the axial displacement should be a result and not a load. There are several ways of applying bolt pretension, you could have a look at
,
and
Once you setup the bolt pretension, you could monitor the tensile load and adjustment(axial displacement) using the bolt tool (Results>bolt tool). nRegards,nIshan.n
