It would be interesting to hear about how you did your simulation in the end? I'm looking at creating a frame using a similar construction technique. I'm somewhat stuck on load case definition and torsional stiffness targets!

Was the price to get the test spec from the lab expensive?
Regarding stiffness targets, was that done by benchmarking frames you liked riding?
It's 500 eur to get the spec for one category of use for one component/area of use and the money is a credit for future tests performed by them on an actual component.

The load cases we used are mainly based on the EFBE Tri-Test (Cat 5).
EFBE is a German company specialized in frame testing.
I can’t share the exact load cases since they’re proprietary, but EFBE can provide the official documentation once you pay an advance or deposit.
You can also find some useful hints in their public test videos on YouTube — they show quite well the kind of loads and setups they use.
