We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Yes, DesignLife will multiply the FE stress by the values in the time series file to obtain the total stresses.  It will then rainflow count the full set of stresses to obtain the approporiate stress ranges and mean stresses to be used in the fatigue evaluation.
