  Please check online for some converters and/or theory references that can give you axial load in the bolts for a given torque. Ansys needs axial force/adjustment for bolt pretension application, and cant use the torque for bolt pretensioning.nI hope you might have looked at https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v211/en/wb_sim/ds_Pretension.html and previous questions like Determination of preload in bolt pretension ?
