Section Modulus calculation and optimization

Report:

1) Hood CADpart is to be taken and its Sectional Modulus (before and after improvement) is to be found.

2) Intersection is to be taken between YZ Plane and Hood Part(Inner + Outer panel).

3) Both outlines are to be joined.

4) Fill command is used to obtain a surface.

5) This is said to be sectional surface.

7) The length of the whole surface is taken as below

8) The Inertia of this surface is taken as below.

9) Here the step to improve inertia is done.

10) The outline of lowe panel is taken and Parallel Curve is taken in bottom direction at a distance of 0.5mm.

11) This new line is joined with outline of outer panel and fill command is used to form new surface.

12) As the length is constant, only the new inertia is recorded.

13) Here are the initial and final measurements.

14) Here, there's a significant increase in Sectional Modulus after the offset between Outer and Inner panel is increased by 0.5mm

15) Hence, the required Sectional Modulus is obtained and design improvement is suggested.
