FEM Analysis

Since most parts used in the construction of the prototype were standard and made by other organizations, very little was needed to be created by the team. Therefore, there is the assumption that all standard parts would hold up to the strains put on it. For the three load-bearing parts created, a FEM analysis had to be done.

Below is the Spindle Motor Mount piece, just one of the pieces designed to show the analysis performed:
