Results details

Results details are provided for static stress studies, to help you understand whether your part can withstand the applied loads. The Results Details dialog opens when you click the icon next to the Load Case selector in the legend.

The lowest resultant Safety Factor is displayed at the top of the dialog along with a recommendation of next steps.

Safety Factor Targets

Safety Factor guidelines vary by industry. To have a better interpretation of the results, adjust the targets to fit your application. If you know the guidelines that should be used for your application, specify a custom range. Warning: Reducing the Upper Target can make the results interpretation message give a false positive indication, when your design may not actually be adequate.

Note: If the targets are modified, the intermediate warning state is disabled. The DESIGN DETAILS dialog with then only shows the following states:

- the resultant minimum safety factor is below the Lower Target.
- the resultant minimum safety factor is in-between the specified targets.
- the resultant minimum safety factor exceeds the Upper Target.
