Adding Mass to a body doesn't affect the fibre force after simulation of the arm26 model

Hello
Please I'm trying to do a biomechanical analysis of the biceps brachii when a mass of 4kg and 12kg dumbbell is added during the dumbbell curl exercises.
Upon adding the mass, I realized that the fibre force doesn't change after simulation.
Mass was added to the radius_ulna_hand body to reflect the weight of the dumbbell before simulation by changing the mass of the body from 1.5kg to 5.5kg, the same method was used to add a mass of 12kg which changed the new mass to 13.5kg
After performing inverse kinematics with the new mass, the fibre forces doesn't change
I'll like to enquire if there's a better way to add mass in such a way that it reflects on the fibre force after simulation and inverse kinematics is carried out.
Thank you for your time.
