Hi,
Forgive the likely simple question but am just learning and I have just not been able to locate the answer in documentation. For Panel Buckling failure analysis, the ultimate MS is reported as "(+) load". What does that mean? For the limited number of studies I have done so far I always get a numeric MS or at least "very high". Any pointers are appreciated! Thanks, Todd

Hi Todd,
There is a help topic that explains the margin of safety codes.
See: https://hypersizer.com/help_7.3/#ReportMS/report-ms-ms_codes.php?
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you James... ah! I dropped the minus sign so had the loads reversed! Thanks for the pointer to that page... somehow I overlooked it. Best, Todd
