  I have a model that has many bolted joints and object generator was a huge help when making the beam connections. However, when I go to use object generator to add pretension to these beam connections, it won't let me use it when the "scoping method" is "beam connection".

  you can try to do this with ACT, which would require python programming:
  First try and see if these APIs are recorded:
