Hi everybody!

I have tried to do a beam with two fixed points applying to a normal force in the middle of the beam. I have been ablo to see what is the 3D deflection of this solid, but I would like to know what is the maximun force that I can apply to it.

I was searching on internet about safety factor (it is included in the 5.3 version), and I found that I can adjust some parameters like Von Mises criterion but I do not know where I can see if the beam breaks or it is simply deformed.

I attached an image of my result.
