The Fatigue group includes the following categories and preferences.
| Category | Preference | Description |
|---|---|---|
| General | Design Life | Set the number of cycles that indicate the design life for use in fatigue calculations. The default is 1e9. |
| Analysis Type | Set the default for the Mean Stress Theory property when
defining a fatigue analysis. Options include:
| |
| Cycle Counting | Specify the bin size used for rainflow cycle counting. For example, a value of 32 means you use a rainflow matrix of size 32 X 32. The default setting is 32. Supported range is from 10 to 200. | |
| Sensitivity | Lower Variation | Set the default value for the percentage of the lower bound that the base loading will be varied for the sensitivity analysis. The default setting is 50. |
| Upper Variation | Set the default value for the percentage of the upper bound that the base loading will be varied for the sensitivity analysis. The default setting is 150. | |
| Number of Fill Points | Set the default number of points plotted on the sensitivity curve. The default setting is 25. The range is from 10 to 100. | |
| Sensitivity For | Set the default fatigue result type for which sensitivity is found. Options include:
