This is rather concerning, because the simulator designers are going to be using the same engineering calculations used to inform the designers of the hardware. If the maximum forces involved in this system are much larger than calculated then that calls into question all of the engineering that went into it, from bolt sizes to the number of strands in the cable. This is at least the second indication that the engineering projections related to relocating the engines did not match reality.
As other posters have stated before, Boeing’s supply binaries to the TDMs for integration. The TDMs are no longer involved in design.
