Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Autodesk Inventor Professional can analyze stresses in both parts and assemblies. Shown below are videos of a crank bracket of a windscreen wiper. Various loads were stated, and the analysis was carried out to determine the results.

With Dynamic Simulation Autodesk Inventor Professional can carry out a simulation, and the results can be viewed in an Output Grapher. These results can then be exported to FEA.

The following link represents a stress analysis carried out on the Beater Bracket. The force assumed at the tip of the moving knife is 10 Kn (10,000 n).
This far exceeds the working load at this point.
