    you need to apply a bolt pretension load, and take it to your following step by using statsub(pretens) in combination with CNTNLSUB to take all the deformation from the bolt pretension to the other loadcase;

     

    There is a tutorial in OptiStruct help showing how to setup 1d and 3d bolt pretension.
