Specialist durability nodes in the Simulation Navigator

The main panel of the Simulation Navigator includes several nodes that you use in specialist durability. For information about other areas of the Simulation Navigator, see Simulation Navigator overview.

Events Block load event Superposition event Transient event Random event Harmonic event Duty cycle event 1 Duty cycle event 2 Flexible body event	Events	Block load event	Superposition event	Transient event	Random event	Harmonic event	Duty cycle event 1 Duty cycle event 2	Flexible body event	The Events node contains all the defined specialist durability load events. For a description of different load events, see Specialist durability load events. appears beside an out-of-date event.A block Load event is out of date if:The data-source file does not exist at the specified location.The results file associated to the selected solution does not exist at the specified location.No subcase is selected from the subcase list.The data source unit system is not found.A transient load event is out-of-date if:One or more data-source files are not stored at the specified location.One or more results file associated to the selected solution are not stored at the specified location.The unit system of any data source is not found.A superposition load event is out-of-date if:One or more finite element or load history data-source files are not stored at the specified location.One or more finite element results file associated to the selected solution are not stored at the specified location.The unit system of any data source is not found.There is no defined matching pair. A duty cycle load event is out-of-date if any of its active events are out-of-date.
