Using nastran profile

A beam (CBEAM) element should be created between two spider (Rbe2) elements...

    Selva,

    This functionality of creating bolt connection with CBEAM/CBAR & RBE2 is available within HyperMesh under Connector -> Bolt panel. You may need to write small script to define property automatically.
