How to apply Chain load on an FSAE chassis in 1D beam analysis

Hello,
I am trying to figure out the chain tension load acting on the chassis in 1D beam analysis, I have created 4 Dependent nodes where the Differential carrier is mounted and connected them to an Independent node which is the center point of the Driven sprocket, using RBE2. I am planning to apply a Moment load on the Dependent load which is equal to (the force of the chain times the radius of the rear sprocket) I do not know if my setup is right, ill truly appreciate the help.
Thank you.
