Problem with stress simulation

That is not what I see in the file that you attached?
Are you attempting to follow a Tutorial?
First of all thank you for your fast replies.
No I did not follow a tutorial. I see that only two of the 4 forces are visible for you, which is quite weird since i actually applied 4.
After your reply I setup a new simulation with the forces divided in 4 individual groups of forces (Force4 -visible under gravity- is now divided in force 1, force 2, force 3, and force 4) and it turned out that I kept the exact same results. So I suppose that cant be it..?
Once again - the file that you attached has the Forces applied to two of the arms, not all four???
On this arm you have two Pin constraints on one side and none on the other side (like you have for the other arms).
You have 4 arms.
You have 2 fastening holes per arm.
That equates to 4x2=8
You have 14 Pin constraints.
14/8=??? (asymmetry?)
I suspect that you actually intended 4x2x2=16 Pin constraints.
@TheCADWhisperer Thanks for your reply and screenshots once again.
I've fixed the issue by opening the exported file and editing the forces in the Load Case Attributes menu.
For some reason the forces were applied wrong to all arms so that Arm1 and Arm2 had all of the forces coming on them. I've checked my main file multiple times and noticed that all forces were divided equally on there, which then makes it extremely weird that the exported file has these unequally divided forces. I would therefore say that there might be a bug in the static stress simulation OR that I just messed something up in my design...
I've attached a image of what it looks like now (fixed), close the circle.

Anyhow, thanks for your extensive help.
Kind regards,
