I have been running a process in ansys and I get the results. However, I need to see which formulas ANSYS used. I want to see the formulas that ANSYS uses to compare an analitical approach. Could you please answer me if there is a way to see those formulas?

Thank you

Open the ANSYS Help Manual, go to the Mechanical APDL section and look in the Theory Manual.
What is the analytical equation you are using?

I am using SWT method for low cycle fatigue life condition. Thank you :)

Did you find this page in the Help? You must first open the ANSYS help, then you can copy/paste the URL below into the browser that is running ANSYS Help.
https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v212/en/wb_sim/ds_Fatigue_stress_strain.html
That page has the Strain-Life equation.

When I open ANSYS help any browser is not showing up

What version of ANSYS are you using?
Old versions of ANSYS had their own help viewer pointing to a local copy.
New versions of ANSYS use the online help version linked to in the URL I provided.

I am using Workbench 15/ Is it also possible to see of the formulas for factor of safety under fatigue life calculation?

Here is a screen snapshot from ANSYS 18.2 and I expect 15 might have the same section in the help.
