Hello all. I recently switched over to V11 and one thing I'm noticing is that I have to use a probe to find the working loads from by bolt pretension loads. I'm slightly annoyed by having to set up a probe, but there's another issue i'm having. In the actuall bolt pretension load I'm applying a preload force, not deflection. But in the probe the working load is 0 and there is a adjustment value. I've ran some verification models and the bolt pretension seems to be working correctly and applying my specified preload force. Just wondering why the working load is 0. Shouldn't that at least reflect my preload like it did in V10?
