Load Pattern dialog box

Option	Description
Pattern Name	Specifies the name of the load pattern.
List of subcases	Lists all the subcases that are present in the structural solution that you selected in the Static Durability Event dialog box.
Pattern Type	Specifies how the static load from the selected subcase is converted to a load cycle.Half Unit Cycle ramps the load up from 0 to unity, and then back down to 0.Full Unit Cycle fully reverses the loading in the half-unit cycle.
Scale	Scales the stress or strain results to avoid performing repeated solves with different loading values.
Offset	Applies a nonzero mean stress or strain.Example: For the full unit cycle (red curve), a positive offset (green curve) moves the load curve (purple curve) up.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.
