Finite Element Analysis

Principal Stresses in Box Frame Cross-members using 1350 20-noded 3D elements

Principal Stress at Node 2401 = 15000 psi

Maximum Deflection at center of horizontal cross-member = 0.0427 inches

Principal Stresses in Side plate of Box Frame using 2100 8-noded shell elements

Principal Stress at Node 1482 = 11500 psi
