In the article that i been following they used Abaqus but i want to make it work using Ansys. 

Here is an extract of important information of the article: 

"The first step of the finite element tire–pavement contact surface simulation is the
pressing of the tire model onto the road pavement. To achieve convergence, it is practical
to give a predefined shift for the clamping of the tire, as a boundary condition, until the
establishment of the contact. In the beginning, the distance of the tread of the inflated tire and the road pavement was 2 mm. The predefined shift was chosen as 6 mm, and about 1600 N counterforce in the boundary condition. "

How do i put a predefined shift on Ansys ?

How can i apply that 1600 N counterforce ?
