Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Sketch >> Top plane.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw a rectangle of 200mmx250mm.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude it by 10mm.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Sketch >> Front surface.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw a rectangle of 160mmx10mm at 40mm to top edge.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Extrude it by 120mm.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Offset the right plane by 65mm.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Sketch >> DTM1.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Take the Edges references.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Draw lines like this.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Exit the sketch. Insert >> Rib >> Profile rib.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Change the rib direction towards Right plane and thickness be 10mm.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Now we have one rib. We have to create the same on the other side.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Select the rib feature and then goto Edit >> Mirror.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Select the right plane as the mirror plane and click OK.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    We have both ribs created.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Sketch and the front Surface of the extrude1.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Draw four holes of 14mm dia at 20mm to the corresponding edges.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Extrude cut it through all.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Sketch >> Top face of the Extrude2.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Draw two circles of 14mm dia on the vertical axis at 28mm to the corresponding edges.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Extrude them with remove material.
    

    

23. Step 23:

    Now we have bracket model. In next tutorial we will study the Analaysis on this part.
    

    

24. Step 24:

    In the next tutorial we will study the effect of force on this bracket in Mechanica.
