For static studies, the Design Check Wizard guides you step-by-step to assess the safety of design based on a selected failure criterion. It calculates the factor of safety distribution throughout the model based on the following criteria:
The Maximum von Mises Stress criterion
The Maximum Shear Stress criterion
The Mohr-Coulomb Stress criterion
The Maximum Normal Stress criterion
Refer to the Checking Stress Results section for more details.
