MITcalc problems

Hi all,

I'm trying to use MITcalc to size a bevel gear set for the internals of an open differential. My starting point is to take the bevel gears from an existing diff and put in the power and rotational speeds they have, and see if the program gives out the size that I know they are. After putting in my data, the outer diameter comes out roughly correct, however my safety factors in section 4.0 of the inputs are saying roughly 0.1 and highlighted red.

Can anybody suggest what may be going wrong? I've attached a screenshot so that you can see all of my inputs.

Thanks.
