I trying to run a FEA in Solidworks on a steel wheel on a flat plate and I am having trouble with an infinite amount of stress along the contact area "strip or line" between the plate and wheel, since the steel wheel doesn't compress and provide an area like a rubber wheel would.

Does anyone have any advice on running this FEA or determining what material to use?
