@581876 

Can you explain what you would like to know from this analysis?

If you are doing Static Analysis - there should be no motion.

I see anomalies in the geometry.

For example, this interference of two bodies.

I saw other geometry anomalies that might increase the complexity of meshing, and the entire assembly has too much detailed geometry.

The goal is to see where the weak spots are in the claw when grabbing stuff.

You need to idealize the model for the purpose of analysis - your assembly is far too complex.

I would analyze individual components or sub-assemblies with reduced detail.
