I've used what I still call the bolt wizard to generate bolted connections in an assembly. I've used this tool and procedure for years AND for weeks now on this same model (creating & re-creating bolts) and I've never seen the message that I'm getting now : "K-Node Nearly Colinear" with some of the beam elements that make up all the bolted connections.
I know what that means but I don't know how to fix it, if I need to, or how I caused the situation to exist. The message does point me to the Part and the element number but I don't know how to find those specific elements (it's not all of the bolt beam elements).
Any advice is much appreciated!

Hello Bryan,
Please try setting the beam orientation for the elements in question manually by changing the surface number.
