Edit material failure criteria for structural solution results.
Failure criterion, Safety factor low, Safety factor high, Tensile Yield Strength
and Compressive Yield Strength can be adjusted by the user. However, this will not
change values in the material database and will not be saved. See the Material Properties section for more information about
material properties in SimSolid.
-
In the Project Tree, open
the Analysis Workbench.
-
On the workbench toolbar, click .
The
Safety Zones dialog will open and display a
list of materials as well as the follownig information:
- Safety factor low
- Safety factor high
- TYS [MPa] (Tensile Yield Stress)
- CYS [MPa] (Compressive Yield Stress)
-
Under Failure criterion, click the drop-down arrow in each material's row to
change the criterion.
-
For all other factors, click a number in any column to activate a textbox. Then
enter the desired value.
Tip: For Safety factor low and Safety factor high, you can also use
the sliders in the dialog to edit the values.
