The figure below shows the original design with a vertical load of 300 lbf and total displacement. Notice the buckling at the center of the part.

Original Part under stress

Compare the previous design to the new design, also with a vertical load of 300 lbf and total displacement . Notice how the part no longer buckles at the center.
