| Virtual Rigid Bolt Tightening Connection Property | Virtual Bolt, Bolt Force, & Bolt Restraint The force associated with the AFC Bolt Tightening Connection Property is mapped to a Bolt Force in the first step of the simulation; a Bolt Restraint is applied in all subsequent steps to fix the Virtual Bolt at its loaded length. If there is no Scenario in the simulation, only the Virtual Bolt feature is created. | Partially Imported |

Considerations
You should take the following considerations into account:
- Connections
- Connection features are imported only for product assemblies. If an AFC feature is defined on a single part, the connections will not be imported.
