Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strength of the 20-ton capacity welding test equipment frame using SolidWorks software-based simulation. The simulation evaluates the stress distribution, strain, and safety factor of the frame structure when receiving the maximum load. Analysis using the finite element method (FEA) is performed by modeling the frame along with boundary conditions and loads that match the actual test conditions. The simulation results show that the maximum stresses in the structure are still below the yield limit of the material, so the frame is considered safe to use. The highest stresses are distributed at the top of the frame especially around the load application area, while the bottom and legs of the frame experience lower stresses. The minimum factor of safety obtained in the simulation is 6.6 which indicates that the structure has high reliability against the applied load. Based on these results, the welding test equipment frame design can be said to be strong enough and safe to use for testing with a capacity of 20 tons. However, design optimization can still be done to improve the strength of the structure.
