Max Force on Platform Beam for Simulator Proj

[airstrike_ola]

Hi every one, I am constructing a Motion Platform for my Simulator Project. I need this motion platform to hang in a beam in order for it to move freely. But the question is I do not know how to solve the maximum force that the beam can support my platform before it breaks.

Typically engineering failure happens far before the actual breaking. Are you sure you're only interesting in actual breaking point?

Based one some simple beam calcs, the beam will barely be able to support its own weight, let alone a motion platform at its tip!

Yes, I am interesting in actual breaking point. But if someone wants to share his knowledge related to beam for the sake of understanding the problem I will appreciate it.
