Section Modulus calculation and optimization

S = I/y

S = Section Modulus

I = Moment of Inertia

y = distance between the neutral axis and the extreme end of the object

SECTION 1:

I = 1.478017 mm4

Y = 415.87

S = 0.003554036 mm4

SECTION 2:

I = 1.518677 mm4

Y = 415.87

S = 0.003651807 mm4

The Section modulus is slightly improved by increasing the distance between the inner and outer panels of the hood.
