All loads found using MATLAB solver, based off values found previously
Fixtures
This small section of the steering arm is fixed to the upright in the full model.
Loads
The force load acts perpendicular to the bolt, while the moment comes from the upright, and acts at the fixed face.
Each case will have the force and moment applied at the same spots, using the different values from the Loading Cases table above.
Mesh
idk what you'd call that but there’s where I put the mesh slider.
