I am student, trying to design support pillars for a die casting die. The moving half of the die is mounted on the machine platen and these pillars provide support for the die when huge clamp load is applied by the machine on the dies. Any suggestion on how to approxiamte the induvidual loads on each columns (Pillars) so that I can treat each pillar induvidually as a column buckling problem.
