Rolling friction settings in COMMERCIAL finite element software

Is there a standard way of implementing rolling friction in COMMERCIAL finite element software?

There's no book about such a subject in COMMERCIAL FEM software though there are books on algorithms that are best for people writing code themselves (e.g. Wrigger's "Computational Contact Mechanics' book has a section on rolling friction but doesn't help this post). There were attempts on friction or rolling in such software but didn't find anything particular about rolling friction. This post isn't about writing algorithms by oneself or but about tricks of using COMMERCIAL FEM software to implement rolling friction.
