Display reaction forces on carrier rollers

Good evening

I carried out a static study on a trolley suspended from a running beam by rollers. I applied several forces (mass of components, forces, gravity), and the results I obtained seem correct to me but I would like to validate them by displaying the reaction forces/force results on my rollers. This is to make sure that they are the ones who are carrying my load and validate my load at the same time. In Resultant Force - Reaction Force, I can only select faces, and it doesn't give me the values for my selection but only for the entire model.

Maybe I should use External Force?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Hello

 

In principle, the reactions are found on all blocked elements (place of application of boundary conditions).

I don't know which tool is used but the default reactions are the reactions on the full model.

It is necessary to check whether there is not the possibility of recovering local reactions.

Hello

This is a static study carried out on Solidworks Simulation 2014.

In theory, my pebbles support the entire mass. But when I select the face of the rollers in contact with the rail, and I look for my reaction force, I can't show any results on the selection. He only shows it to me for the entire model. 

I can't select a component, only faces, edges, or vertices.

After contacting the hotline, it turns out that it is not possible to select a body to recover the resulting forces. In my model, the resulting forces appear on the top surface of the toads (Fixed Geometry) that hold the bearing beam. The sum of its forces corresponds (approximately) to the total forces applied to the carriage.
