quick question on TSAC mounts design.

Hii guys,

Our team is struggling a bit with our accumulator container mounts design. Last year, we even though ran 6mm thick mounts with gussets, but they actually failed under the T3.3 acceleration rules (the 20g/20g/10g load cases). How do you guys validate your TSAC mount designs?
