The presented paper deals with the solution of rolling contact problem. A virtual model was created in Abaqus FEA software. The boundary conditions and contact forces were subsequently added. The results obtained after the simulation were compared with data obtained by experimental measurements, which were performed on the test stand ELSPO used in theoretical and technological center for plastometer construction materials for experimental analyzes and tests in terms of rolling contact of solids. The FEM simulation and experiment observed the size of the contact pressure, plastic deformation and the width of the track, which was the site of contact.
