Hello,
While reviewing the report generated by Solid Works for a simulation, why aren't the free body forces equal and opposite to the reaction forces? My understanding is that the free body forces reported in x, y, and z directions are the vector sums of all loads applied to the model. The free body forces should move the object, but the reaction forces generated at geometry fixtures prevent this.
