A static structural analysis will be performed in SimScale to evaluate the structural integrity of the engine hoist under its maximum design loading condition. The simulation will investigate the stresses, deformations, and structural response of the critical components when the hoist is subjected to a representative heavy-duty engine load. The analysis will primarily determine: - Von Mises stress — to identify regions experiencing high stresses and assess yielding risk. - Total deformation — to determine how much the boom and frame deflect under load. - Factor of safety — to evaluate whether the structure has adequate strength relative to the selected material yield strength. - Reaction forces — to understand how the load is distributed through the frame and support points. - Critical/high-stress regions — particularly around boom connections, hydraulic-cylinder mounting points, weld joints, pivot locations, and frame members.
