I am trying to simulate a bolt surface pressing on the inner surface of a hole. The bolt is a bit smaller then the hole (M16 bolt in a dia. 18mm hole) so I created a volume region where the approximate contact of the bolt would touch the holes inner surface and got the result below.

I can see and understand why there is large stress at the edges of the surface region.
Is there a better way to simulate this?
