Mesh:

Loading:

Rest Case:

2746.8 Newtons acting upwards - force acts over acer that is in contact with the spindle.
114.4042 Nm acting in the negative z direction along the contact are with the spindle

Forward left acceleration:

419.2484 N in the negative x direction
838.4968 N in the positive y direction
419.2484 N in the positive z direction
Moment in the negative z direction shown here - all other moments are added in the same way for their respective axis (I was just too lazy to post another picture)
Loads

 

Fixtures:

Rigid bearing supports with self-alignment selected
Tried using an advanced fixture on cylindrical faces and restricted movement in all but rotational. (I think)

 

Interactions: No interactions - simulated as a single part

Results:

At rest:

Forward left acceleration:

Deformation shown at 1500

 

Recommendations:

At rest:

Need to look at fixtures and forces again - simulation shows that there will be a failure by the bearing, but I think that it’s because I added the loads or fixtures incorrectly. The problem may come from the fixtures.

 

Forward left acceleration:

Changing the fixtures from bearing to advanced seemed to help, but I am still uncertain is it is the best option. The model isn’t failing this time but the motion of deformation seems strange. Could be coming from the moments.
