Try applying a Bearing Load to a cylindrical face on the geometry. A Bearing Load creates a force on the nodes where the maximum force is at 0 degrees and zero force is at 90 degrees on either side and the distribution of force is sinusoidal.

There is a related constraint called a Compression only Support. See this discussion.
