ANSYS Mechanical APDL - SupportMaster2000 and SupportMaster3000

Job ID: 35425234

Budget: £20 – £250 GBP

Just Hanging Ltd. are an Engineering company specialising in the design and manufacture of brackets. Their most popular design is the SupportMaster2000 (illustrated below), although a potential customer has enquired about the possibility of purchasing a slightly different bracket (called the SupportMaster3000).
SupportMaster2000
Just Hanging Ltd need to determine if the deflection and stress generated while in use are within acceptable ranges. You have been employed as a consultant engineer to perform a stress analysis study, in the form of finite element analysis, to create a parameterised model which can be altered to calculate the deflection and stress of the SupportMaster2000 and SupportMaster3000 under loading. Just Hanging Ltd have provided the following information:

• Engineering Drawing of the SupportMaster2000

• Design parameters:
