I'm having an issue with an assembly I made of a pole with a sleeve around the base.
The problem I'm having is that the applied force does not match the reaction force in the results of the simulation. I bonded the two parts together using both global and local interactions (i found that the global interaction gives me more of the displacement that I want but the reaction force on the whole model is too high). I've noticed that when I get reaction forces close to the applied force of 1000 lbs, the displacement I get is too low, but when I get really high reaction forces, the displacement is more in the ballpark of what I'm expecting.
I've attached the assembly below. If someone could be help me understand why this is the case and/or what i can do to fix it, that'd be great
