Creating a block load event

Using the Block Load Event command, you can create a block load event that lets you analyze the repeated cycle between a loaded condition and an unloaded one. For example, you create this type of load event when a component is under tension and compression repeatedly. Any load history that repeats itself is considered a block of load.

To define a block load event, you:

• Import the stress/strain results from a result file or select a solved solution in the current Simulation file to retrieve the results.

• Specify one of the following load cycle patterns: Swelling (1), Alternating (2), and Free (3).

• Optionally define the load length and assign a temperature source to the load event.
