Since the geometry of the model has changed, you must analyze the modified part to evaluate the results.
To analyze the modified model:
Click COSMOSXpress analysis wizard
or Tools,
COSMOSXpress to restart COSMOSXpress.
Note that exclamation marks
appear on the Analyze
and Results tabs, indicating that
you need to reanalyze the part and that the existing results do not belong
to the current geometry. Note also that an Update
button appears at the lower left corner of the COSMOSXpress window.
Click Update.
COSMOSXpress begins analyzing the modified part. When the analysis
is complete, COSMOSXpress replaces the exclamation marks
on the Analyze and
Results tabs with check marks
. Note that the new minimum factor of safety is listed
approximately as 1.48.
