HM-9000: Export Data for Fatigue Analysis
In this tutorial you will learn how to write and input file for a given fatigue solver using the options available on the Fatigue panel.
This exercise uses the keyhole.hm and keyhole.res files, which can be found in the hm.zip file. Copy the file(s) from this directory to your working directory.
Open the Model Files
In this step you will open the file, keyhole.hm. This file contains a finite element (FE) model, for which an analysis has already been conducted, to obtain the stress/strain information for durability loads of interest.
- From the menu bar, click .
- Open the keyhole.hm file.
Load the Results File
In this step you will load the results file, keyhole.res.
- From the menu bar, click .
- Open the keyhole.res file.
Export Data
In this step you will export data and write a fatigue solver input deck.
