Indian Railways uses stainless-steel berths in passenger coaches to ensure safety, durability, and passenger comfort. These berths are subjected to static passenger loads and must comply with strength and deformation limits specified by railway standards. The present work focuses on the design and structural analysis of a stainless-steel berth using computer-aided design and finite element techniques. The berth model is developed using NX-CAD as per standard dimensions and mounting conditions. Static structural analysis is carried out in ANSYS to evaluate stresses, deformation under prescribed loading conditions. Based on the analysis results, design modifications are performed to improve structural performance and reduce weight without violating allowable stress limits. The results obtained show that the optimized berth design is structurally safe and meets the required performance criteria. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of CAD and FEA tools in the design and optimization of railway coach components.
