No. A bench warrant is a method used to compel appearance for a criminal or quasi-criminal (like traffic tickets that require an appearance in court) matter.

If a defendant fails to appear for a civil trial, the court will enter a default judgment against the missing party, but will not issue a bench warrant.

Failure to answer a summons is simply tantamount to admitting the allegations in the complaint are true and judgment should be entered as requested.
