Safety factor for Europe is 1.5, but since we live in Azerbaijan, it is 2.5 for us. People misuse
cranes, and failures occur.
You are supposed to use Parametric design in order to save time of company.

Each of you get different geometries which you have to draw, simulate and modify in order
to get safety factor = 2.5.
Geometry weight should be as small as possible meeting 2.5 safety factor standard.
a)
Draw 3D model on solidworks or ANSYS, simulate and find stresses. Material used for this
project is S355JR steel with yield strength of 355 MPa.
b)
Apply fixture for the areas shown blue in the picture below:

Please modify geometry until you get 2.5 safety factor, then try to reduce the extra weight.
Good Luck!
