*FATIGUE DATA

 		Previous pageNext page

Purpose

To assign fatigue data to SHEAR7 sets.

Theory

Refer to SHEAR7 Data Specification for further information on this feature. For more information, refer to the Shear7 User Guide which is available for download from the Shear7 Support web page.

Keyword Format

A line defining the global stress concentration factor (SCF).

GLOBAL_SCF=SCF Value

A block of two lines to specify the fatigue data for a set. The first line defines the name of the set to which the fatigue data will be assigned. The second line specifies the fatigue data for the fatigue sets in the following format.

SET=Set Name

CURVE=S-N Curve Name

Set Name must be a set that appears in your static model. S-N Curve Name must be defined using *S-N CURVE.

Table Input

Input:

Description

Global SCF:

The stress concentration factor (SCF) to be used in fatigue calculations.

Set Name:

The set to which the fatigue properties are to be assigned. If elements included in the model are not defined here, Flexcom will assume to correspond to the first S-N curve specified.

S-N Curve:

The name of a defined S-N curve.
