Creating durability material properties

The Create Material command lets you select an existing material entry and estimate its durability properties from its mechanical properties. The software estimates the strain life parameters or the SN curve using the uniform material law or the universal slope method, respectively. It can also derive a synthetic SN curve from the strain life parameters.
