1.	PTADJS1 can be referred by PTADD or by the PRETENSION command in the subcase directly.

2.	Pretensioning adjustment shortens the pretensioned bolt by “removing” the set amount of material. This represents the effect of turning the nut by a set distance (number of turns).

3.	Pretensioning adjustment is an additional shortening applied to a pretension section. This means that, when adjustment is applied to a section that has already been pretensioned, the final effect will be a sum of the status reached in the preceding pretensioning subcase plus the amount of ADJ.
