 30 point hang is brutal. Those who say it is easy are not thinking it through or are way smarter than the rest of us ... - Paul Copioli [more] |

Re: Strength difference between aluminum
To answer this question, the moment of inertia is basically a number you can use to compare shapes' strengths relative to one another.
See attached 'secret spreadsheet' snapshot. It shows that 1" x 1/8" box will be about 2.5 as strong as 3/4" x 1/8" box. This surprises most who aren't familiar with how this calculation is performed. If your question is, "Is there really that big of a difference?" The answer is yes. Also note, that 1" x 1/16" is about 50% stronger than 3/4" x 1/8". Something to chew on.

Re: Strength difference between aluminum
If you have the full install of Inventor 10, you should have something called "Design Accelerator" which has lots of useful calculators and formulas for just this sort of thing.
