1) Use a CAD software to create a 3D model of the new A-frame stand design. 2) Identify the standard that such a design would have to comply with. 3) The A-frame stand design is to be able to withstand 30,000 lbs load applied symmetrically at two stand pockets (15,000 lbs each side). The pockets are to be 35″ away from each other. (see figure below for illustration) 4) The design have to have a minimum factor of safety of 2. 5) The design needs to be validated using FEA. 6) Optimize the design to reduce weight and cost.
