The initial weight was 399 grams. I commenced the challenge late; thus, any feedback is appreciated. In NX, the FEA setup with bolt connections led to high contact stresses at the bolt head spider-mesh junction. To rectify this, a fixed constraint on the bottom mating face was applied; however, it lacks realism. The organizers are commendable for hosting this event, providing an excellent opportunity to compare FEA outcomes!
