Re: pic: FEA - Stress Analysis of Frame Rail

It looks like it says max: 1.105x10^3, which is more reasonable. That's really cool, though. I'm thinking we should try it with our ramp platform.

Regarding pinning, I vaguely remember some trick where you can model a (symmetrical) beam pinned at both ends by using a cantilevered half-beam with one end fixed and one end free, then applying the pin reaction force to the free end. Anyone else know this for sure?
