Stress field in the beams of a counterweight lifting device

01 — Project journey

From requirement to industrial reality.

A documented view of the decisive engineering, manufacturing and validation steps.

Stage 01Engineering evidence

Architecture, masses & materials

Decomposition of the equipment into beams, pins, lugs, tie rods and counterweight masses. Materials and equivalent masses are assigned before building the static load case.
