Focused on lowering stresses for Top 30 wall case
Added a total of 12 longitudinal reinforcement tubes to try to add more resistance to bending during impact
all 1” square tubing
Testing the effects of a greater wall thickness (0.113”)
Note: there are currently interferences with floor panels, changes can be made to the reinforcement placement later

Sheet metal over these tubes
More tubes at these areas. Basically a sheet metal wall, but made up of tubes

This image shows that the stresses are lower when the sheet metal reinforcements are suppressed.

Comments
A lot of stresses on these longitudinal tubes
Adding the sheet metal reinforcement actually increases the stress
Ideas for reinforcements
More tubes in the longitudinal direction (front to back)
