Applying torque to the nut of threaded bolt keeping to achieve clamping force

      Hi To achieve the initial clamping force I have to tighten the nut on the threaded bolt in the bolted joint. For this purpose I want to directly apply the tightening torque on the nut keeping the bolt as fixed.
      Is it possible by any method?
      Thanks!

      The recommended method to clamp two flanges together with a nut and bolt is to use the Bolt Pretension load. Do you want to know more about that or are you specifically asking about turning the nut on the bolt, which is not recommended?
