    This document summarizes the steps taken to conduct a stress and deflection analysis of a rectangular L-section bracket using ANSYS software. The procedure involves pre-processing such as defining material properties, geometry, and meshing, solving for stresses and displacements, and post-processing to visualize von Mises stresses, displacements, and stresses around holes. The analysis found von Mises stress values and displacements in the bracket under applied loads.
