Safety
Add the Safety subnode to a Linear Elastic Material to set up variables which can be used to check the risk of failure according to various criteria.
Layer Selection
Select the layer or layers for which the safety factor variables are to be defined. The Layer selector inherits the value set in the parent Linear Elastic Material node. When it is set to All layered materials, you cannot access the individual layers.
Each Safety subnode defines its own set of variables, so there is no interaction if you add several such nodes with the same selection.
•
All other settings for the Safety node are described in the documentation for Safety in the Solid Mechanics interface.
•
For a general description of layer and interface selections, see The Layer Selection Section.
•
You can describe parameters for the allowable values with a through-thickness variation by explicitly or implicitly using expressions containing the extra dimension coordinate as described in Using the Extra Dimension Coordinates.
