Solidworks Simulation Carabiner Testing
Hi
I've been trying to simulate a pull test on a carabiner I've modelled.
I added fixed constraints, no penetration (between the pulleys and carabiner) and the force (7000kN total).
See below:

The carabiner twists, I'm not sure that is how it would react.
During the test a 'large displacement' popup appeared. I tried clicking both yes and no, the yes failed and the no gave me the results above.
The pulleys have a tangent mate to the carabiner and parallel to planes.
Have I set up the test correctly? How else could I try this test?
