I don't have time to draw 4 inch omni's because currently i am the only one that can use solidworks. I have b-ball practice and currently under an internship in which i draw and create signs.
Any FEA visualization software in a CAD package will enormously exaggerate the deflection. Use the colors and scale in the corner of the screen to determine actual deflection; don't eyeball it.

I work full-time with Solidworks and mentor a team, am moving and am tired, so if you're too busy to model the parts, I'm probably too busy to make the drawings.
