Armin, thank you very much for your help. 

After some research I think If i add the top plate of the test machine I think i should then use explicit dynamics module and instead of using a force - I should use a displacement (which unfortunately I don't how much the press moved)? Please correct if Im wrong but I dont think just applying the force on the top plote of the machine would transfer the load realisticly to the sample? 

 

I've tried to do explicit dynamic analysis before with 2 plates from the machine (top was displaced on -z axis for 1mm) but the solver couldnt compute due to convergance error.

 

Maybe you can suggest which analysis and loading (force or displacement) should be used here?
