Hi Louie,
Thanks for the response. ANSYS calculates the life and damage based on the SN curve you defined in the engineering data, and it is based on the FEA approach. The experimental data comes from physical experiments, i.e., fatigue testing machines; therefore, you cannot perform that experimental test in ANSYS.
