Description
Creo Ansys Simulation now supports fatigue analysis results within a structural study. A new group of the following fatigue related results are available:
• Fatigue Damage
• Fatigue Life
• Safety Factor
• Biaxiality Indication
• Equivalent Alternating Stress
Probe results are not applicable to fatigue. Fatigue is only available with a Creo Ansys Simulation advanced license. Multiple mean stress theories are available. Fatigue results are calculated based on the following two inputs:
• Fatigue Behavior (stress or strain life)
• Fatigue material properties including S-N curve input and other cyclic stress-strain properties that are defined in the Fatigue area of the Material Definition dialog box.
The following figures show two different fatigue results.

Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Powerful integrated fatigue results
• Fast and easy to use
• Failure prediction under cyclic loading to avoid unexpected failures
