Automatically create a duty cycle load event

Use this procedure when your Simulation file contains at least one superposition load event.

Events
load event template

1. Make the Simulation file the work part and the displayed part, and choose Specialist Durability tab→Tools group→Auto Duty Cycle .

2. In the Auto Duty Cycle dialog box, in the Definition group, click the Browse command next to the CSV FIle box to browse to the location of the CSV file. The CSV file contains a list of superposition load event names to be created and their corresponding load history file name and repetitions.The following is an example of the CSV file:NameFileDurationDistanceRepetitionsload event 1first_event.asc5load event 2second_event.asc10load event 3third_event.asc6.5The CSV file name and directory appears in the CSV File box.

3. Click the Browse command next to the Load Histories box to browse to the folder that contains the load history files.The folder name and directory appears in the Load Histories box.

4. In the Load Defintion group, from the Template Event list, select a superposition load event to use as the load event template.

5. (Optional) In the Options group, from the Event Order list, select Ignore Event Order or Account for Event Order to either ignore or account for the order of the load events in the duty cycle load event.

6. Click OK.
