Hi 

 

I'm searching for a possibility to make the same mass optimization in Hyperworks as in Inspire. ( restriction safety factor)

But i don't know how to insert a safety factor in Hyperworks.

 

Can anybody help me ?

    The safety factor constraint is really a stress constraint, calculate the allowable stress based on your stress factor and create a stress constraint in HyperWorks, see help for how to do the same.
