Bolted joint simplification

Hello, how can I replace in simulation those kind of bolted joints so preload is included. I need to create linear simulation with bolted joints and analyse those joints so they are accurately represented.
The problem is Creo simulate can't create bolted joint while there are more than two parts bolted togeather. Can those bolted joints be recreated as a beam structure or any kind of spring structure?

Thank you in advance

If the bolted joint is to be examined in detail in Simulate (e.g. preload, exact bolt force, etc.), a contact analysis (non-linear) is required.

I don't know of any alternative.

We use contact bolted joints, and during the design phase, we sometimes need to analyze them analytically.
So that is why it is important to have basic knowlege about joint and only then model this using contacts(takes a lot of preparation and time to simulate).
