Hi people, I'm in a bit of a problem in here. I've done what "ansys help" tells me to do: set the value for SALLOW, put SFACT to 1 and plot the nodal stresses, but still I'm getting the stress field and not the distibution for the safety factors.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??

Thanks in advance.

PS. I'm doing all the commands through the command tree.
