I don't think any company that makes aftermarket stuff does any real FEA/CAM work to this effect. The fact that most all of them use big thick steel parts pretty much tells you that. They can be reasonably sure that if they make it with heavier gauge steel tube than the stock part used, it's going to be plenty strong enough.
There are, however, exceptions and those exceptions cost $$$.
