Thanks for the response. I don’t use cosmos-m here, but will be glad to contact you incase of may doubts in Cosmos-Works. I have one doubt to start off.

While designing a bolt, is it ok if  we ignore the bolt and directly constrain the hole. In doing this, high stresses will be developed in this region. Can we directly consider the shear stress thus developed and select a bolt of higher rating. Do writer back with your ideas.
