Factor of Safety Wizard
For static studies, the Factor of Safety
Wizard guides you step-by-step to assess the safety of design based
on a selected failure criterion. It calculates the factor of safety distribution
throughout the model based on the following criteria:
The Maximum von Mises Stress criterion
The Maximum Shear Stress criterion
The Mohr-Coulomb Stress criterion
The Maximum Normal Stress criterion
For options with composite shell models, see Composite
Failure Criteria.
Refer to the Checking Stress Results
section for more details.
