Hello, I am having trouble running simulations on an assembly the forces do not translate down through the assembly when the top surface is loaded. The assembly does show stress and displacement however the values are unrealistic. The top surface is loaded with 5000 lbs and the bottom surface is constrained.
 
The model is now giving me an error during the simulation.
The error reads "Model separation into 16 independent components"
