  There is an ACT extension available that can help do advanced bolt simulation, although I am not certain it could do what you want. nMy opinion is to use solids to model the bolts. Object Generator could greatly ease the work of setting up 100s of bolts.

  Hi Gary,nnThank you for your response. Unfortunate that the behaviour I want is not supported, but I will make do with solid bolts.n
