Hi I'm a beginner at fea.

I want to do a fea simulation in solidworks of the deformation due to forces on a beam. Beam is clamped between vices and cutting force is applied towards the extreme end.

So I made 4 blocks, fixed their outer surfaces made the blocks as a rigid body.

Gave global interaction as contact and coefficient of friction as 0.2

Applied 2000kgf force in the inner face of the blocks

Applied 400kgf forces towards the extreme end of beam

I ran the study but its not solving it as it is improperly fixed.

What should I do pls helppp
