Hyperstatic balance of a simple beam

Hello,

I am new to MotionSolve and it seems fantastic.

I am mostly interested in forces balance of mechanisms.

I tried a simple example (attached), with a bar with 2 ball joints at its extremities, and a loading of 1000N in axial direction at its center.

What type of analysis could lead to a "good" physical result for forces at extremities?

Static analysis leads to 1000N at one extremity and 0 N at other. I would expect 500 N at both wouldn't you?

Thanks a lot!
