Create a transient durability event

1. Choose Durability tab→Durability group→Transient Event .

2. (Optional) In the Transient Durability Event dialog box, enter a meaningful name that will be displayed in the Simulation Navigator under the Durability solution process node.

3. From the Transient Solution List, select the solution that contains the stress or strain results you want to use.

4. On the Strength tab, select the strength durability object from the list or click Create Strength Settings to create a new strength durability object.A strength durability object specifies the stress criterion, the effective stress type, and the requested strength results.

5. On the Fatigue tab, select the fatigue durability object from the list or click Create Fatigue Settings to create a new fatigue durability object.A fatigue durability object specifies the value for the number of occurrences, the fatigue life criterion, the requested fatigue life results, the method for calculating the maximum alternating stress, and the requested fatigue strength results.

6. On the Axis Search tab, select the axis search durability object from the list or click Create Axis Search to create a new axis search durability object.The axis search durability object specifies the method for determining the primary loading direction. The primary loading direction, also called the stress axis direction, is the most likely direction along which cracks would initiate.

7. On the Data Control tab, from the Time Domain list, specify how the transient event time domain is determined. If you select Specify, you also need to set the output start time and end time for the durability transient analysis.

8. (Optional) Specify the decimation order.

9. (Optional) Specify a value in the Peak Valley Tolerance box to control the minimum stress or strain cycle amplitude used in fatigue evaluation.

10. On the Solve Options tab, select the solve options durability object from the list or click Create Solve Options to create a new solve options durability object.The solve options durability object specifies the default material temperature and the element selection and material overrides.

11. Click OK.
