Auto Duty Cycle dialog box

Name - Description
Name	Sets a name for the duty cycle load event.
Description	Sets a description for the duty cycle load event.
Definition
CSV File	Lets you select the CSV file that contains a list of load event names and their corresponding load history file name, duration, distance, and repetitions.The file must contain five columns, a title row, and at least one row of data. Optionally, the duration and distance values can be entered in the units of the template superposition load event. If they are defined, they must both be greater than or equal to zero.
Load Histories	Lets you select the folder that contains all the load events' corresponding load history files.If the software does not find a file, for example if the load history file name in the CSV file does not match with the name of a file on the disk, the software does not create the associated superposition load event, and does not include it in the duty cycle load event.
Load Definition
Template Event	Specifies the template superposition load event that contains a single load history file, finite element results from one or more source files, and the matching results that are defined under the Connection tab of the Superposition Event dialog box. The Matching Mode can be set to Automatic or Manual.
Options
Event Order	Lets you choose to ignore or account for the order of the load events in the duty cycle load event.Ignore Event OrderComputes the combination of the selected load events as one case in one single solver run. The result for each individual load event is computed independently, and the load events order does not affect the results.Account for Event OrderComputes the combination of selected load events as one case. The result for each individual load event is not computed. Since the non-closed cycles of the previous load events is included in the computation, the order of the load events affects the results.
