General Electric Bracket

The original part weighed 2051.66 grams, but its mass was reduced by 73% to 554 grams. The Factor of Safety (FOS) varies between 1.2 and 1.7 based on load conditions. Simulation results for different loading conditions revealed max stress levels: 99ksi (Condition 1), 105.2ksi (Condition 2), and 106.9ksi (Condition 3). Design constraints considered a fixed geometry relation on the bolt head surface areas only, aiming for a FOS of around 1.5 while keeping the part light. However, due to focusing on vertical loading, other conditions resulted in slightly higher stress levels. If time permits, further optimization will focus on minimizing weight without affecting the part's performance. Regarding torsional loading (Condition 4), it remains untested as the user is new to SolidWorks and college education. Simulation results are available for download in MHTML format.
