You create a Fatigue study to assess in detail the safety of your model's design.
-
Right-click the Ready_Static study tab and click Create New Simulation Study.
-
In the PropertyManager:
-
For Type, click Fatigue
.
- For Name, type a name for the study, for example, Fatigue 1.
- Click
.
Simulation creates the Fatigue 1 study tab. The fatigue study is based on a constant amplitude event with a defined number of cycles.
A constant amplitude fatigue event is fully defined by an alternating stress, mean stress (or stress ratio), and the number of loading cycles. All cycles of a constant amplitude event have the same alternating and mean stresses.
