Window Closing Simulation Assembly Setup

Window Closing Simulation Assembly Setup

Window Closing Simulation Assembly Setup

(OP)
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have the window sill constrained by using a slider on the sides, back, and front, the cam and the housing of the lock have a bearing connection and a pin, the keeper is fixed on the bottom face and has a slider on the back face, and there is a spring connection between the cam and housing, simulating a wave washer.

The cam and keeper have a contact set of the faces making contact, the sill and housing do as well and the cam and sill have a connection between the faces that have a small gap, with the checkbox for gap allowed.

I'm getting Large Displacement, but I cannot figure out what is causing the large displacement.

And load is being applied to the bottom of the sill.

Correction, it is just a pin connection between the cam and housing, not a bearing. No rotation or translation.
