Durability > Durability results for the event-based analysis
Plot the stress loading history for a given element
This example shows how to evaluate the stress history functions that are used by the durability event to analyze the fatigue damage and plot the stress history of one element in the XY Function Navigator.
In the Simulation Navigator , right-click the durability event node and choose Evaluate Fatigue History.
From the Data Type list, select Stress.
Click Export Fatigue Histories to AFU File .
Enter the name of the AFU file and click OK.
Click Close.
In the XY Function Navigator , plot the element stress history function.
