Patterns on Auto rickshaw body 1

[Tuco_Salman]

Hello All,

I am new to this forum and this is my first question.
I tried searching about this in the forum and please pardon me if it is already asked/posted.

My first question is that what is the significance of the patterns found in auto rickshaw body?
Does the patterns help in giving rigidity to the structure? ( Look at the below images)
What is the purpose of these patterns?

I am trying to build replica of this body design in solidworks using solidworks sheet metal.
My second question is that how to build these patterns in solidworks sheet metal?


Thanks

Tuco

They act as ribs to reduce flat width to thickness ratios.
