Our mechanical constructor wants to know if the floor where our new robot will be installed is strong enough.
For that he must know the forces on the bolts that connect the pedestal to the floor.
To have some relevant data for the engineering team, I was wondering if it is possible to know the maximum forcess in the robot root (base position of the robot).
We don't have the real robot yet, but we can do simulation in robotstudio, we have a cad-model with all data of the tool, and we already have the program with the correct speeds and accelerations that we can run in the simulation. I know we should be able to trace the acceleration of the tcp in the simulation, but is there a way find max forces in the base of the robot?

The information that you seek should be in the product reference manual for the robot you have in question.

It concerns the peak forces that occur for a specific robot program (path and velocity, with known data for the tool).
I suppose this specific situation will not be found in the manual. -

The worst case scenario is an E-Stop when the robot is moving at full speed, full load at maximum distance from the base, so the forces are refered to that case.
