Is it possible to plot the safety factor in Hyperworks or Hyperview? If so, How?

Guilherme Arruda

I´m working on a simulation in Hyperworks using the optistruct as a solver, and my material is a 1020 steel

In OptiStruct you could also request Factor of Safety as a direct output from the solver, by adding FAILURE and FOS outputs. Remember of including allowables into the material data.

Hi Adriano,

Can you show me how to add FAILURE and FOS outputs? I don´t know where it is
