forces in wishbone

[faeez]

I am trying to do an FEA analysis of the wishbone, but I dont know how to calculate the force that might act through the wishbone. Does anyone happen to know how to calculate it? thanks.

Tried the "Find" function yet? This has been discussed many, many times in previous posts.

My general answer is this: all loads act through the contact patch of the tire. Now be an engineer, draw a free body diagram of your suspension, and figure out the loads.

For a decent approximation...

Short answer: Statics.

Long answer: Statics, brah.

A Shorter one.

Total Magnitude of the load: 1000 Zillion Newton per square liter, applied on the ZY transverse euclidean plane direction..

Then you build em` with nitrided and case hardened artificially aged Unobtanium Alloy T3651

Enough said.

Faeez,
That's what happens when you try to shortcut the research process and ask silly questions!
