Another Cosmos question

I am using Cosmosworks Pro with Solidworks Pro 2007.

I am try to perform a compression buckling analysis on 3 stacked plates rivetted together.

When I try to define the connection as a bolted connection I find Cosmos can only deal with 2 plates bolted together.

Is there any other way to define the connection?

Thanks.

I need to see what the interfastener buckling of the plates is. Is there any other way of restraining or fixing the 3 plates together at the fastener holes? spot weld also only uses 2 plates.
