Hello, that´s a great tutorial, but i'm trying to simulate the impact efects of a droping stone (5kg) on a steel structure. I´ve set all the constraint, motion and contact features i desire, i run the simulation, but i can´t get a report. Can you help me?

It says that I do not have the licence or something like tahat

Thanks that was perfect!
