I have managed to recreate a UR5 robot model for my digital environment, however whenever I need to start some procedure to test it, it deforms as follows in the attached form:

Pretty sure the UR5 isn't supported 'out of the box' as the joint configuration doesn't match that of the FlexSim robot.

Is this due to the number of joints?

I think it's more the sequence of axes of rotation that don't match.

What I think strange is precisely this movement of it "growing" along with the deformation, it's not simply as if the pieces just got messed up

I would update each components reset position. You find it in right mouse button menu, when you are in tree view over an object node.

A reset position stores more than a location.

have you done your update by a video tutorial?

Yes, I watched this video and did exactly what you said, but it still didn't work.

Your problem was probably during robot customization. In this link there is a video explaining how to do this:

In this question there are tips you should use to keep the working correctly:
