Check three load cases for a pump bracket

Review a single pump-support bracket under three agreed static load cases before we order a prototype.

This is an example brief. Its company, dates, budget, assignment and progress illustrate a project; they do not represent available or commissioned work. Proposals cannot be submitted.

The brief

The work and the intended result

We have one bracket model and a defined pump mass, centre of gravity and hose-load envelope. We need a linear-static assessment of the current geometry and one modest revision if needed. The report should show boundary conditions, a mesh-sensitivity check and the limitations of the model. Fatigue, vibration, bolt-preload modelling and approval for service are outside this package. A short design-review call is included.

What you’ll deliver

  • A documented model with material properties and the three applied load cases
  • Stress and displacement plots for the original bracket
  • One mesh-sensitivity comparison and a clearly stated interpretation
  • A short report and, if required, one updated geometry with a repeated governing load case

Expertise needed

  • Experience interpreting static finite element results around brackets and supports
  • Ability to distinguish numerical stress peaks from useful design evidence
  • Neutral geometry exports and editable analysis inputs at handover
  • FEA
  • Structural analysis
  • Material selection
  • Design review

A running start

What’s already in place

  • STEP model, material specification and mounting-interface dimensions
  • Pump mass and centre-of-gravity information
  • Three loading combinations and the agreed displacement target

Project milestones

To shape together
  1. 01

    Agree loads and restraints

    Review the three cases and confirm which attachment details are simplified.

  2. 02

    Evaluate the bracket

    Run the original geometry, check mesh sensitivity and discuss whether a small change is justified.

  3. 03

    Hand over the evidence

    Supply the inputs and report with every plot linked to a load case and its assumptions.

To agree before starting

A shared definition of done

Confirm the deliverables, review checks and response window together so everyone knows what a successful handover looks like.

Suggested acceptance criteria

  • Every agreed deliverable is included in the handover, in the agreed file formats.
  • Assumptions, limitations and open questions are documented alongside the work.
  • The project owner reviews the work against the brief and returns one consolidated feedback list before approval.

When the scope changes

Record the requested change, its reason and its effect on deliverables, budget and timing. Both parties agree the revised scope in writing before the additional work begins.
