 The von Mises and Maximum Shear Stress criteria are used to compute the Danger Level using the yield strength from the material database. If zero yield strength is specified, the material will not be able to be saved. The Rankine, Coulomb-Mohr, and Modified Mohr criteria use the tensile strength and compressive strength entries. If a zero tensile or compressive strength is specified, the material will not be able to be saved. The von Mises and Maximum Shear Stress criteria are used to compute the Danger Level using the yield strength from the material database.
