In this video:

We will learn how to work with brittle materials using SolidWorks Simulation by simulating the effects of a person sitting on a granite bench. We will learn about how the Mohr Coulomb failure criterion is generally used when working with brittle materials like granite. Then, we will create a material to represent granite. Finally, we will run the analysis and post process our results.
