This static analysis evaluates the structural behavior of the Resultant Forces ................................... 5
Spr2 model under applied loads using SolidWorks Simulation.
The primary objective was to assess the von Mises stress Study Results ....................................... 6
distribution and resulting displacements within the ASTM A36
steel structure. Key boundary conditions include fixed
supports on selected faces and the application of gravitational
force and a 294,300 N external load. The study used a high-
quality blended curvature-based mesh and incorporated
thermal effects at a reference temperature of 298 K. Results
show a maximum stress of approximately 1.539 × 10⁸ N/m²
and a maximum displacement of 0.1701 mm, confirming the
model’s structural integrity under the defined conditions.
