I applied forces on the handles but the handles do not seem to impact the force applied on the small cylindrical part. Could someone help me? i probably got something worng with the contacts but i cant figure out what. (It looks like the handles are not rotating at the pin)</P> Fri, 10 Jun 2022 14:16:32 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/inventor-nastran/m-p/11227349#M74082 fbouchard.geniemecanique 2022-06-10T14:16:32Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/inventor-nastran/m-p/11231095#M74083 <P>The entire Pliers are Grounded (in the Simulation)</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="LucasdolinarVFXZU_0-1655113060758.png" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1079092iDE3D20B78A054A9F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="LucasdolinarVFXZU_0-1655113060758.png" alt="LucasdolinarVFXZU_0-1655113060758.png" /></span></P><P>probably because there were 0 DOF...</P><P>If you want to make a Dynamic Simulation, you need some DOF.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>But what i think you want is a Stress Analysis?
