Modeling of Bolts

ron.kunz
Dear all,
I have a big assembly and want to model bolts in the complete assembly. What is the best and accurate way to model this.
Cbar analysis is accurate enough to analyse the bolt forces. Boltstress is of secundair interest.
Are there examples for these bolts?
In addition bar orientation for this CBAR property, how can this best be modeled?
 
Thanks in advance

    Ok it seemed I forgot to attach the group for the bars in the selection for the analysis...
    Attached I have the model which runs. Added I have a Force to check the touching condition. The results seems reasonable.
    Now I would like to know if the approach for the bolt is also correct.
    If I want to read the axial force this is the component yy? And for the shear one can take the resultant for xx and zz?
    Is this the right approach?
    Thanks.
