MECHANICS
In order to calculate the necessary geometry of the module,
it was important to convert the 3D structure box into a
schematic 2D structure of its cross section.
Moreover, a further simplification of the shape is applied
when is needed, considering a half circumference or
a rectangle geometry, so in this way, it was possible to
compare and verify the hand calculations with the
Diana results.
The following analytical studies are focused first on
the module without and with the backplate (open
and closed frame), then dimensions and distances of
possible ribs, and finally, other connections.
