Hi All,

I am facing problem to get the adequate bolt reaction force while using *DLOAD (Pressure Load),  However while use the *CLOAD getting correct (Close to reaction force ) bolt reaction force.

Model Details are following

In load case1 applying bolt pretension load

in Load case 2; applying pressure load to face of the Housing and its cover face in opposite direction.

calling rf reaction force at preload node set
