Pin Bearing Test

Hi, i'm trying to simulate a pin bearing test on a composite material. The idea is to force the pin to translate along the x axis with a constant velocity of 3mm/min and in this way the pin should create a damage in the composite part. In my model I used constant displacement instead of velocity but i think it is the same. My problem deals with the contact edges between the hole and the pin. Infact, when i run the simulation there is no error in the solver, but looking at the post processing in hypermesh in displacement section the only things that it moves is the pin without making any damage in the composite part. I share the model to better understand the problem. 

Thank you in advance, i would appreciate if could help me.
