Bar Stool Structural Analysis

This document summarizes the results of a finite element analysis on a bar stool. The model contains 28763 nodes and 16295 elements. A static analysis was performed under a vertical load of 300 lbs applied to the stool. The maximum Von Mises stress was 1.0089e+006 psi located at node 28632. The total strain energy in the stool was 0.013 Joules. The global error rate of the solution was 11.31%.
