So this is my first look into Simulations on objects, and by the simulations, I have tested this with the idea that a lightbar at 100kmh will take around roughly 150kg of wind drag or 1,500 newtons (I rounded to 10 for 1KG = 10N, I think it's closer to 9.8 or something)
By all the simulations, all buckling will occur at points where mounting bolts will sit, and it will bow outwards, addition of a washer will greatly increase the strength on the outside and the lightbar frame itself will increase the strength on the inside.
All simulations were done as if the object is printed in ABS plastic, obviously other plastics will yield different results, such as PETG which is my preferred plastic, and is not accounted for in the simulation software.
This is designed to slot into the top track of a Rhino Vortex Roof Rack, I have zero affiliation with Rhino Rack, their products, or their subsidiaries and this is NOT A RHINO APPROVED PRODUCT, this was done for fun.
As such, taking desi
