Reply To: Solution combination for Random vibration and Static Structural

[AR]

I will also have to calculate fatigue. For this, I have seen the Fatigue Combination module. From what I understand, this module combines the Fatigue Tools from both the static and random vibration analyses (in my case), combining only the damage. Is this correct?

Regarding the stress, I was referring to linearly summing or using SRSS in Excel to combine the Von Mises equivalent stress from the static and vibratory analyses. Since Von Mises stress is always positive, I would always be adding positive values. I had thought of doing this in Excel and then trying to input these values into ANSYS.

Can POST1 be used to combine different analyses results?
