Stress Parameters
The failure equations that a calculation model provides for a part require that you enter certain stress parameters. The topics listed below provide general information about entering stress parameters. Becoming familiar with the content in these topics will better prepare you to perform predictions.

When running prediction calculations, built-in default values are used for part parameters that are left blank or display # signs (for numeric fields). These defaults are based on established average design values to produce good results. Custom default values for part parameters an be defined in the Project’s Prediction Defaults files. For more information, see Prediction Defaults Files.
