I want to model failure of a bolted plate in tension test using ABAQUS?

How can I determine ductile (fracture strain, stress triaxiality and strain rate), shear damage (fracture strain, shear stress ratio and strain rate) and plastic properties (Yield stress, plastic strain and rate) required in ABAQUS?

With the bolt tightened at different torques (pre loads) , failure modes are different, so how to choose above asked values for two different pre-loads.

Do I need to do some initial experiments to determine these values and then use it in the model OR these values remain the same doesn't matter what the bolt torque value is?
