      When performing a Large Deflection analysis, customer must be aware that bolt pretension direction is constant during the analysis, so initial pretension direction may differ from the actual bolt direction when the force/adjustment is to be applied. See PRETS179 element help (http://goo.gl/W8Yxdl) to know how to update this load direction.
