There is a simple Workbench Static Structural model to decide if a constant applied force will tip a structure over, assuming a no slip condition at the base. Insert a Revolute Joint to Ground along the tipping edge. Insert a Remote Displacement on the opposite edge and set Y = 0 leaving all others Free. Apply Standard Earth Gravity in the -Y direction. Solve. If the reaction force on the Remote Displacement is up, it will not tip, if the reaction force is down, it will tip. The downward force prevents the structure from tipping.
