Seems to be quite a community of amatuer cam designers out there.

For anyone thats interested, there is an MSC package out there called robust design. Its an FEA module that allows you to varify that your design/model does not fall over with small variations in fundamental parameters.

So for example, if you wanted to check that variations in manufacturing tolerances, pin stiffness, friction variation, assymetric or flared placements did not result in a massive drop in overall strength then you can put them in as variables and it will do a range of problems to get a good statistical handle on it all.

As there are many stories of cams pulling out, this kind of analysis would be pretty interesting to see.
