On project set up sheet-->load sets we have ultimate and limit load factors. Also, in Project sizing sheet-->design to loads under the factors we have mechanical limit and mechanical ultimate.
So, it seems to me if I import a FE model into HYPERSIZER, I get to set ultimate and limit load factors in two places. My first question is what about if the factors specified in these two places are contradictory (in one place I specify ultimate load factor=1.5 and in the other place ultimate factor=1)?
I also wanted to make sure that if:
limit load factor=1 and ultimate load factor=1, then limit and ultimate MS are equal. Right?
Also, if limit load factor =1 and ultimate load factor=0, they we only get limit MS back. Right?
