Function dialog box

Option	Description
Function Excitation Name	Specifies the name of the function excitation.
List of subcases	Lists all the subcases that are present in the structural solution that you selected in the Static Durability Event dialog box.
Select Function	Lets you create a new AFU table function or select an existing one. The software multiplies the load case with the AFU table function to create the excitation.
Scale	Scales the stress or strain results to avoid performing repeated solves with different loading values.
Offset	Applies a nonzero mean stress or strain.A compressive mean stress indicated by a negative offset is beneficial for fatigue life, whereas a tensile mean stress indicated by a positive offset is not.
