Reaction force in simulation shows all 0s

Issue: After running a simulation, I wanted to examine the reaction on the constrained surfaces, but when I used inspect>reaction forces>select surface, the dialogue box shows values of all 0s. However, when I select reaction forces in the simulation result legend, I could see the nodal reaction forces do exist on those surfaces. (See attached screen capture)

 

Could someone tell me what I am missing here?

It shows you only have 1 entity selected, what were you selecting in that image?

Also can you share the file?

I am selecting the bottom surface of the leveling foot aka the surface that is showing nodal reaction forces. I have updated the file so the simulation is no longer current and the mesh is outdated. I will try another simulation tonight and post again here if the same issue is encountered.
