How does this bar hold up?

Change the part and the load, and see the stress and bending as the solve runs. Drag to orbit.

Peak stress outside the clamps —
Safety factor —

Peak stress is the highest stress in the part away from the clamps. A clamp's corners are left out because their stress is a model artefact: it grows without limit as the mesh gets finer. Safety factor is the material's yield stress divided by that peak; below 1 the part would yield.
