Bracket Designer
Size angle, shelf, gusseted and offset sheet-metal brackets with a linear elastic shell FEA that sets up its own wall bolts and load.
Product pages are in English.
Highlights
- Four bracket families with reach, width, rise and thickness typed in or dragged in the 3D view
- Bolt holes as rigid pads or real holes with washer meshes, tied with RBE2 or RBE3 elements
- Force in any direction over the flange; material from the Twinsys library or typed in
- Von Mises contour, deformed shape, peak displacement, elastic utilisation and a CSV summary
- Save and reopen your inputs on your computer or in your cloud
A question it answers
How much does this wall-mounted bracket deflect under the service load, and where is the elastic stress highest?What you put in
Bracket scenario; reach, width, rise and sheet thickness; isotropic Young modulus, Poisson ratio and reference yield stress; downward service force. Four idealized wall clamp nodes and a free-flange load strip are assigned automatically.
What you get
3D plate representation, shell midsurface stress contour, maximum displacement and von Mises stress, elastic utilization and CSV results.
