Hi guys.
I want to model the pressure distribution in rolling process and convert the pressure distribution into equivalent nodal forces. How do I do it. Please guys it's urgent. Any links would also help.
Thanks

A good starting point is to find the pressure distribution as a function of longitudinal and lateral (x and y) directions. Then integrate over the region the pressure is applied, then go on from there...
