I’m trying to calculate how much pull force is acting on a steel pin positioned just above a coil inside a steel housing. Doing the simulation I get 0 forces acting on the selected volumes in X, Y and Z axis, which is not true, so there is something I’ve done wrong. Any thoughts on what?

Any help is appreciated

Hi @daniellovas,
Thanks for posting on the forum and welcome to the SimScale Community 
Apologies for the delay here!
In order to observe the forces being applied on a specific part, you’d need to create a flow region around your volumes and set a result control to monitor these values.
The following tutorial might prove very useful in understanding all these concepts:
If this does not help, let us know.
Best,
Igor
