Simulation Help

I am new to working with the simulation program in Solidworks and hoping this is the right location to ask this question. I am trying to determine the amount of stress that is occurring to a plate that is being supported by three bearings. I am not sure if my results are coming out correctly or not. The intent is to have the bearings fixed and a uniform load to be applied to the top plate pressing onto the bearings. How do I show the stress that is being applied to the plate at the point of contact of the bearings. Sorry if my question seems vague. Not sure how to word my question. I've attached a picture of what I have as my results so far. The biggest concern I have is do I have my restraints applied correctly?

Thanks for you help.
