After pressing the Compute button the sheet CodeCal DS2 is activated and the reliability
indexes are evaluated for the start values of the safety factors. To start the optimization, press
the Start Optimization button. Figure 18 shows three 3D – surfaces. Each of them represents
the reliability index for a specified material and design situation two. On the right hand side
of Figure 18, tables show the computed reliability indexes and optimized partial safety
factors.
