A few FEA are conducted in these two weeks. These FEA tests focused on the load arm reaction when applied real life situation. a 10 Kn load is added on the bottom of the load arm. The material I choose have the maximum yield strength 3.5*10^8 Pa. For the top structure, a load of 5Kn is added. the force is caused to the turning at maximum speed.
