Re: Pocketing Gussets
Decent rule of thumb is that stress wants to flow in smooth, uninterrupted, straight lines.
Think about how your part is loaded (including all twisting and bending) and see visualize if stress is forced to unnecessarily flow around pockets and corners.
A lot of the pocketing I've seen in FRC is actually really, really inefficient. In all fairness, we do a lot of visually inefficient pocketing as well when parts are much stronger than necessary.
