Okay, thanks for the advice. I will try and contact a structural engineer and see if I have any luck. Thanks again.

The resting height of the fan is 267mm. You could take the shaft diameter to be 100mm (stainless steel) and the speed can be taken as 1300rpm. These values differ depending on the type of fan used though, but for this example these values should be sufficient. Anymore information required, just...

Using the loads at each point I can then calculate the distribution percentage between the points to find out how evenly the load is being distributed.

Points 1-8 can be considered as vibration mounts in which the load is distributed.

The attachment provided shows a frame in which a large fan is to be rested on. The fan is to remain static and has a weight of 6,060 kg and the location of the centre of gravity is shown in the attachment. Each frame member has a cross-section of 200h x 90w. I would like to know HOW to calculate...

Thanks for the update, would it be okay if you could show how you calculated the load at each point please? All members have the same cross-sectional dimensions which are 200h x 90w.

Many thanks nvn, I was wondering if you could possibly show your calculation methods if that's okay. And it would be considered as a rigid-body.
