Section Modulus calculation and optimization

Section Modulus

which is one of the processes to calculate the initial stage of deformation of the product, in this challenge I take the reference of the designed hood and increase its sectional modulus 

section modulus

S=I/Y

S= section modulus

I=moment of inertia

Y=distance between the neutral axis and extreme point 

	value	Result
Section of hood	Y=440.4041 mm I= 1.994*10^6mm^4 S= 4,527.6599 mm^3	Section modulus of the designed hood has been calculated
0.5mm distance increase between the inner and outer panel	Y=440.541 mm I=2.106*10^6 mm^4 S= 4,780.4858 mm^3	Increasing the distance between panels will increase section modulus slightly
Emboss length is increased after a 0.5 mm distance increase between the inner and outer panel	Y=438.702 mm I=2.672*10^6mm^4 S= 6,090.6948 mm^3	Increasing the distance of emboss length will increase section modulus

section cut used for improvement

the sectional 2D surface created for calculation purpose

Y distance of the section 

moment of inertia of the section

Y distance of the section (0.5mm distance increase between the inner and outer panel)

 moment of inertia of the section(0.5mm distance increase between the inner and outer panel)

Y distance of the section (Emboss length is increased after a 0.5 mm distance increase between the inner and outer panel  )
