Static events

You create a static durability event to perform a durability analysis on a model for which you have static stress or strain results.

For each static durability event, you must define excitation loads and specify the following durability settings:

• Strength criterion in the selected strength durability object

• Number of cycles and fatigue life criterion in the selected fatigue durability object

• Primary loading direction in the selected axis search durability object

Excitation load types

A static event can have multiple excitation loads of the same type. You set the type of excitation when you create the static event.

Load pattern

Simulates a cyclical loading condition using a simple cyclic function with magnitude defined by the selected solution subcase.

Result path

Simulates a loading condition by creating an excitation from existing solution steps.

Excitation function

Simulates a cyclical loading condition using a general AFU table function.

When a static event has multiple excitation loads defined, the results from each excitation load are superposed to provide the results for the event.
