Configure Fatigue Analysis Using a Factor of Safety Calculation

Use the FOS tool to calculate fatigue based on a factor of safety value.

This approach uses the Dang Van method to calculate the multi-axial factor of safety.

  1. From the Setup tools, click the arrow next to the fatigue module icon and select the FOS tool from the list of options.
