Obtaining force values

[Nauris47]

Hello everyone,

Happy new/old year!

I want to dive deeper into learning the simulation and i've came up with the task.

The objective is pretty straight forward - i want to know force values at the specific point at specific angles which is needed to open this hatch door which weights 200kgs... It will be opened by a electric linear actuator, and thus in order to save time/money i need to know the maximum force required to lift the hatch door, before buying an actuator.

I'll upload a short video demonstration of the situation as well as the pack n go files of the situation.

NOTE : the multiple joint hinge is not modeled by me.

Can someone point me into right direction (YT tutorials, or autodesk tutorials) where i could learn to set up that kind of situation in the Inventor or where i should start atleast to make some progress ?
