  Dear Sir/ madam,
  I have simple cube solid of 2x2x2 mm with top and bottom plate of 0.2mm. I have applied displacement load on top of 0.3 mm and given fixed support to bottom plate. Here I have used material as Ti-6Al-4V from engineering library data source. after solving with above condition, wanted to calculate safety factor but while calculating I got an error.
  Please give me some solution.

  Open Engineering Data in Workbench. Expand the Strength category in the Toolbox. Drag Tensile Yield Strength from the toolbox and drop it on your material. Fill out a value. Do the same for Compressive Yield Strength and Tensile and Compressive Ultimate Strength. Now the Safety Factor will work.

  Thank you for your suggestion, after droping from strength category
  compressive yield strength on material then also same error is displayed.

  I have tried same structure with different material as stainless steel and got safety factor. But not working for Ti6-al-4v material (in-built material Additive Manufacturing)

  Put the same value in for Tensile Yield Strength and see if that helps.
