Stress Analysis of Upright and other suspension components

[Robert_1501]

I have preliminary concept of my uprights , doing work on dynamic stress analysis ,using solid works simulation express .The uprights has caliper mounts as well , taking 1000 N tangential force .Loads being 3g vertical, 2g lateral, 1g longitudinal on control arm pick up points .The fixture being the bearing hole.
First I want to ask whether my approach is correct , i.e. software etc.
secondly please suggest me simple and more accurate way of calculating loads on mounts esp. the remaining tie rod mount.
Also give me , how to get the basic shape after knowing the pick up points.

And you are?

taking 1000 N tangential force
I think you mean a torque.

please suggest me simple and more accurate way of calculating loads on mounts
Use a fish scale to measure how much you and two of your friends weigh hanging from a coat hook. Multiply by 1.25", subtract 50 lb/rad. If you don't get your anser in N/*R, something went wrong and you should grab another buddy. For reals though, use the search function, this topic gets discussed on a weekly basis.

You're doing it wrong.

What design? can we see it? can you at least take a minute to save the screenshot of your design so we have an idea of what you're talking about?
You say vertical load, but where does the load actually go to? bearing bed? some sort of pivot mounts? WHERE????
and before you tell people to 'give you and suggest you things', be little more specific about your 'preliminary concept'.
Also, unless you tell us how you came up with those numbers (3g, 2g, 1g whatever) no one will bother to take your question seriously.
Plus, 1000N Tangential force... you mean the torque from the caliper around the hub axis.

What's your justification for that load case.

Oh and,

Connect the dots. Literally, it's that simple.
