Brake Pedal
The Brake pedal is mechanically attached to the master cylinder mounting by Bolt M8. For the calculation, we assigned those holes as cylindrical support to allow rotation in Y-Axis. And Set the load to apply distributed force on the Brake pedal plate.
Material: Aluminium Alloy (Yield pt 280 MPa)
Boundary Conditions
Applied Force 2000 N From the regulations.

Master Cylinder Mounting
The Master cylinder mounting is mechanically attached to the pedal box floor by 4 Bolt M6. For the calculation, we assigned those holes as fixed support. And Set the load 12000 N from the brake pedal ratio at 6:1 and applied 2000N from the regulation and set each master cylinder to apply on the mounting with 2 bolt M8 to separate force at each bolt

Brake Rotor
The brake rotor is connected to the spindle through Bolt M8, which we considered as cylindrical support for our calculations. The load was simulated by applying pressure from the clamping force of the caliper on the brake pad area and accounting for the friction force between the brake rotor and brake pad.
