A310 Fuselage Cross Section to find Inertia and Centroid Values

[sb1786]

Hello All,

I am trying to find the bending stress at an antenna location. The fromula is stress = Moment*centroid/Inertia.

I am having a lot of trouble finding a model or data to model a cross section of the fuselage at location staion 2163. This would help me find the inertia and centroid values I am after.

Anyone knows how I can go about with this. Any tips, help, previous experience?

Thanks

PolySim,
Don´t think I´m didn´t pay attention to your request.
I have RapidC and trying to find the way to send it to you.

thanks taglia.
Maybe i can set up an ftp for you where you can upload it. How big is it?

Anyone know howcome RAPID is not offered and supported by the FAA anymore?
