SFACT, TYPE
Allows safety factor or margin of safety calculations to be made.
TYPEType of calculation:
0 | — | No nodal safety factor or margin of safety calculations. |
1 | — | Calculate and store safety factors in place of nodal stresses. |
2 | — | Calculate and store margins of safety in place of nodal stresses. |
Allows safety factor (SF) or margin of safety (MS) calculations to be made for the average nodal stresses according to:
SF = SALLOW/|Stress|
MS = (SALLOW/|Stress|) -- 1.0
Calculations are done during the display, select, or sort operation (in the active coordinate system [RSYS]) with results stored in place of the nodal stresses. Use the PRNSOL or PLNSOL command to display the results.
