In a strain life fatigue analysis (EN) using nCode DesignLife software, is it possible to plot the stress vs. strain hysteresis loops at a node?
No, nCode DesignLife software cannot plot the stress vs. strain hysteresis loop for an EN analysis. The strain data is adjusted (e.g., mean stress correction, elastic-plastic correction, notch sensitivity correction, surface finish, etc.) during the EN analysis. The original strain data is not retained.
