Good morning.

I do not use this module much and I must say that the help is not "user friendly".
My problem is the following.
I have a plate (incastro) on which a t flange is fixed which brings on the embossed arm a rod on which lenses are mounted. at the end of the last lens at a certain distance I have fire. the pm asked me to calculate at 1g the deformed of the fire.
I modeled and bound everything, and I thought that on the fire I put a mass of 1 g with and very high, but I do not understand how to bind it so that this point rigidly follows me the rod.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

I would try to create a rigid virtual part connected to the barrel or the last lens. then to the virtual part apply the mass you want.
the rigid virtual part is a rigid body that connects a certain point (the handle of virtual art) to the geometries of the chosen part as reference. works as a massless rigid element that transmits the actions applied to the handle.
Take a look here, maybe you know better how to do it. http://catiadoc.free.fr/online/catiafr_c2/estugcatiafrs.htm
