snow). Apply a temperature of 600°F to the front surface of
the shield. Leave the material as Alloy steel and run the
analysis using blended curvature-based mesh. Utilize the
probe feature to determine the average temperature within
the handles (see attached image for expectations). Create a
static study with fixtures inside the handles and gravity
applied. Insert the results from the thermal study into a
static study and take an image of the minimum factor of
safety(see attached image for expectations). Two images are
required: Average temperature inside holders and factor of
safety from the static study.
