6. Under Connection Type, select Distributed.
7. For Material, assign Alloy Steel (SS) from the SOLIDWORKS Materials library.
8. Select Strength Data and do the following:
   1. Select Calculated Tensile Stress Area.
   2. Set Unit to threads/inch and for Thread Count , type 11.
   3. Under Bolt Strength, set Unit to N/m^2 and type 50000000.
9. Expand Advanced Option and do the following:
   1. Select Bolt series
   2. Select the interior cylindrical face of the flange hole for Allow faces for bolt series .
   
   
   
10. Click .
    When prompted to add bolt connectors to all holes in the hole series, click No. Automatic propagation of a bolt definition applies to bolt connectors between two components.
