Attached is the file in question.

I have created a clamp mechanism assembly with a limit angle to restrict range of motion. Within Motion Study I was able to successfully create an opening and closing animation, and when I move into Motion Analysis specifically I am able to manipulate the assembly as desired. However, when I add a motor to my model the analysis is unable to calculate. My knowledge of Motion Analysis within Solidworks is sub-par.

The end goal is to generate a path travel and inertial forces enacting to bring into a secondary software (ANSYS) for structural stability analysis. The application is strictly academic and may seem like overkill, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
