Design and analysis of excavator bucket with movement - doesn't rotate!

Hello,
I'm new to Fusion and I'm having a problem I don't know how to tackle!
I mean to model a excavator bucket and do a stress and deformation analysis with the loads and considerations I have.
For that I modelled the bucket and attachments and I want to allow some rotation along a bar that I say it's fixed.
In conception I defined a revolute joint between the bar and the bucket and said the bucket had a range of rotation of -40º to 40º. The thing is that when I simulate there's absolute no rotation and the bucket just deforms in a strange way.
Attached are some images of what I've modeled so far.
Qhat am I doing worng? Is there any way to make it rotate the allowable amount? Is there a more appropriate way of designing this problem?
I really appreciate all the help!
Thanks, Ana
