Fatigue Analysis Overview
Fatigue Analysis is intended for solutions to structures in a large number of loading cycles.
Setup Analysis
Set up your model for analysis.
- Fatigue Modules
  Use the fatigue tools to determine the type of fatigue analysis that the model will undergo.
  - Configure Fatigue Analysis Using the SN Method
    Use the SN tool to calculate fatigue based on stress life.
  - Configure Fatigue Analysis Using the EN Method
    Use the EN tool to calculate fatigue based on strain life.
  - Configure Fatigue Analysis Using a Factor of Safety Calculation
    Use the FOS tool to calculate fatigue based on a factor of safety value.
  - Configure Fatigue Analysis Using a Weld Method
    Use the Weld tool to calculate fatigue based on a spot or seam weld analysis.
- Materials
  Use the Material tool to associate predefined or user-generated materials with the model's parts and sets.
- Load Maps
  Use the Load Map tool to import/create multiple channels (load histories) which are then paired with subcases/loadsteps to create the fatigue events.
Evaluate
Run the model and view results.
Manage Files and Data
