I am trying to evaluate the contact pressure on the sleeve of a roller chain. There was a pre-tension of 20Nm acting on the edges of chain pin and on sleeve due to the stretching of link plates on either side. Is it possible to calculate the pressure acting from this tension and apply as a load in Abaqus? (or)In which form of the load is suggested to apply this tension in Abaqus to calculate the contact pressure or stress?
