Is the Safety Factor displayed by Inventor in the Static Analysis is Yield Strength- or Ultimate Strength- related...?

It is unclear to me if the Safety Factor displayed by Inventor in the Static Analysis is Yield Strength- or Ultimate Strength- related...? (thus, based on the Von Mises or the 1st Principal Stress)... 

Can anyone provide this info? Thanks in advance!

Pablo.

Yield Strength

You can change this if desired.

(Probably only appropriate for brittle materials.)
