Need your input: Modeling the effect of a road bump on the a car component structure

(OP)
Hi, I have an urgent question. I have a car component that looks like a container(cubic hollow). It is attached to a truck's body(bolted). The truck goes through a road bump. I want to know what kinds of stresses/deformation is the connection point between the car and the box is going through(specially in the box). Basically what to now if the box survives the road bump or will it fail? Any recommendations as how to model this? How should I model the inertia effects, acceleration and deceleration?
