Strength Safety Factor and Failure Analysis
Strength Safety Factor and Failure Analysis
(OP)
Hello,
I was doing structural analysis on system made of steel. Further I proceeded with durability simulation to see if it fails at particular load case or not. The images for simulation are enclosed in this thread.
Now I'm quite confused about the results. The magnitude I'm getting for safety factor is quite high. which one should be considered to be the actual one? how to proceed for a proper failure analysis?
Thank you

RE: Strength Safety Factor and Failure Analysis
You are in the wrong forum. I see you are performing analysis with NX.
Here is the link for the NX forum. Post your question there and NX people will help better than Femap users
