With the automotive air-conditioning industry aiming at higher levels of quality, cost effectiveness and a short time to
market, the need for simulation is at an all-time high. In the present work, the use of dynamics analysis technique is proposed in
the simulation of the automobile compressor mounting bracket for the vibration loads. The mounting bracket has been analysed
using the standard testing conditions. The results revealed that compressor mounting bracket may fail due to resonance in dynamic
analysis, but in the static analysis, resonance cannot be predicted under the same magnitude of load. Therefore, dynamic analysis
gives a realistic method for its design validation. With the use of the methodology, a new compressor mounting bracket is analysed
and optimized. The design analysis would be carried out by using FFT Analyser and Finite Element Analysis software like ANSYS.
