GetMinMaxFactorOfSafety2 Method (ICWResults)

Gets the algebraic minimum and maximum factors of safety (FOS) for non-composite shells.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetMinMaxFactorOfSafety2( _
   ByVal BAllBodies As System.Boolean, _
   ByVal ArraySelectedEntities As System.Object, _
   ByVal NComponent As System.Integer, _
   ByVal NShellOptions As System.Integer, _
   ByVal NStepNumber As System.Integer, _
   ByRef ErrorCode As System.Integer _
) As System.Object
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ICWResults
Dim BAllBodies As System.Boolean
Dim ArraySelectedEntities As System.Object
Dim NComponent As System.Integer
Dim NShellOptions As System.Integer
Dim NStepNumber As System.Integer
Dim ErrorCode As System.Integer
Dim value As System.Object
 
value = instance.GetMinMaxFactorOfSafety2(BAllBodies, ArraySelectedEntities, NComponent, NShellOptions, NStepNumber, ErrorCode)
C# 
System.object GetMinMaxFactorOfSafety2( 
   System.bool BAllBodies,
   System.object ArraySelectedEntities,
   System.int NComponent,
   System.int NShellOptions,
   System.int NStepNumber,
   out System.int ErrorCode
)
C++/CLI 
System.Object^ GetMinMaxFactorOfSafety2( 
&   System.bool BAllBodies,
&   System.Object^ ArraySelectedEntities,
&   System.int NComponent,
&   System.int NShellOptions,
&   System.int NStepNumber,
&   [Out] System.int ErrorCode
)

Parameters

BAllBodies
True to use all bodies to plot the factor of safety, false to use specific bodies
ArraySelectedEntities
Array of bodies for which to plot the factor of safety; valid only if BAllBodies is set to false
NComponent
Failure criterion as defined by swsFOS_NonCompositeCriterion_e (see Remarks)
NShellOptions
Shell face on which to perform the factor of safety as defined by swsFOS_ShellFaceOption_e
NStepNumber
Plot step number or 0; 0 gets step 1 for linear static studies and the last available plot step for nonlinear static studies
ErrorCode
Error code as defined by swsFosPlotErrorCode_e

Return Value

Array of two doubles of the minimum and maximum factors of safety

Example

Remarks

If nonlinearities exist in the study, be advised to not use Factor of Safety to estimate the load-bearing capacity of the system.
