Stress and strain limits can be defined in Engineering Data as a function of field variables. These dependencies are fully reflected in Mechanical and ACP-Post when evaluating respective failure criteria.

The following figure shows inverse reserve factor plots of combined Maximum Stess, Hashin, Face Sheet Wrinkling, and Core Failure failure criteria. The structure is viewed from the bottom. On the left is the result with constant material properties, and on the right the effect of Temperature, Shear Angle, and Incomplete Curing is shown. The color bar ranges are the same. It is clearly visible that the IRFs are much higher within the gold square.
