Fatigue Plot
The Fatigue
Plot PropertyManager allows you to plot the results of a fatigue
study.
Plot Type
Available only when the fatigue study is defined with
one event.
Damage.
This plot shows the percentage of the life of the structure consumed by
the defined fatigue events.
Load Factor.
Shows the load factor of safety for fatigue failure at each location.
A load factor of safety of 3.5 at a location indicates that the defined
fatigue event will cause fatigue failure at this location if you multiply
all loads defined for the static study by 3.5.
Available only when the fatigue study is defined with
one event.
This plot can help you determine a fatigue strength
reduction factor for the study.
