The input data required for the fatigue analysis using LifeFrequency can be grouped under the following categories:
•Category (i). Structure finite element model and general environmental data (water depth, density etc.).
•Category (ii). Wave scatter diagram and long-term directionality data.
•Category (iii). A list of pre-run Flexcom analyses which form the basis of the fatigue analysis using LifeFrequency.
•Category (iv). Fatigue-specific data such as hot spot locations, stress concentration factors and material S-N curves.
