Hi Peter, thank you for the reply.

Yes, static analysis gives reaction on both shafts correctly. But in static analysis, the platform is not moving 360 deg if rotational velocity is given (even with Large Deflection ON). So the variation of forces in one revolution of the platform cannot be obtained, which is possible in rigid dynamic analysis.

I have applied rotational velocity just to check force extraction procedure. End objective is to find the dynamic forces on the shafts due to acceleration and sudden stopping of platform. If rotational acceleration is applied in static analysis, it gives error - solution magnitude exceeded.

Can you please suggest a workaround for the above issues? Thank you.
