I want to be careful and not upset anyone since I'm new around here but "load paths" are a difficult concept and the reason that math majors make up a high percentage of stress engineers in highly technical fields. A picture from the OP would go a long way in understanding if any "advice" is going to be problematic IMO. I learned a long time ago that being able to post a picture or a video is the only way to properly approach an internet solution. Like I said I am new around here but I am surprised there isn't more push back, from the regulars, against posts that lack the supporting documentation to a "problem". Is this too high of a volume place? There is a lot here, that's how I became interested. Cheers.
