STRENGTHRATIO

Description Type Default

Controls the output of Tsai Strength Ratio, which is provided in place of Failure Index for composite element ply results output. When set to OFF, the standard NASTRAN Failure Index is output. When set to ON, the Tsai Strength Ratio is calculated. Strength Ratio is considered more useful than Failure Index because it indicates exactly how to change applied loading to achieve optimal ply performance (strength ratio equal to 1.0).
