1. welded ring (2.8x2.8” rect solid), radius rods (2”x2”), radius rods supt struct (2”x2”) Asym PF curr: coil theta displacement (mm) Symm PF curr: coil theta displacement (mm) In previous result, max uy is ~4mm. Now max uy is 7.8mm. It seems 2”x2” radius rods not strong enough and umbrella structure deform more. I am increasing the thickness of radius rods to 3”x3” 16mm
