Normally, I did 1N fatigue analysis whose result was 192 MPa. There was 2,5N load which had 460 MPa (the material's yield strength is 450 MPa) in time-series method in nCode designlife. In this way, the cycle is lower than 10^4 cycles, and I decided to do low-cycle fatigue analysis.

In addition, I want to learn that I do nonlinear static analysis (because of the nonlinear contacts) , but nCode calculates the result as linear superposition. Must I do transient analysis or not?
