It seems like the force to extract the wedge would initially be small and then increase as the wide end of the wedge reached the narrower portion of the clamp. How far is the wedge moving under your current loading? It would be interesting to test a smaller coefficient of friction. The dynamic coefficient of friction can be specified for the contact. I don't think this is really a dynamic analysis and could be solved as a static. It's easy to specify a non-zero Displacement that varies from 0 to the length of the wedge.
