Hey guys, so I have a college project due tomorrow where I have to design a car jack with a 2000Kg min supported weight and 400mm of elevation from the initial point (not the ground). i designed it, but when I Stress Test it with 20000N of force in a "low" position (closest to the ground) I have a very low Safety Factor (0.3) and very high tensions (800MPa). I need help on how to fix these in order for me to sucessfully finish my degree... Please some kind soul. (pardon for my english in advance)
Ill attach the files
Hi
Strength is increased by adding material - using thicker profiles, sheets, screws - depending on where the analysis revealed the problem.
Btw. First, it is worth performing quick manual calculations, then modeling and finally confirming it with an analysis in the program,
