Defining Meshed Bolt Sections

You can apply a meshed bolt to define a planar surface through the body of a fastener through which bolt loads and restraints are applied.

The meshed bolt section is later used as a support for bolt restraints, bolt loads, or bolt displacements in the simulation scenario.
