Hello,
I am a Professional Mechanical Engineer and CAE specialist, I have done at least 50 projects of mechanical behavior simulation to acquire info on deformation, stresses and reactions, using solidworks and Ansys, your case will definitely require ansys if you want a very accurate result that respects the contacts, but I believe I can also do a much more simplified 1D simulation using beam mesh on solidwokrs which will result in a very close result but in a smaller fraction of the simulation time, maybe 1/100 of the simulation time and thus it will cost less.
would be my pleasure to offer you my services.
Regards,
