How to set up a Load Force Block in Fatigue Tool Analysis inside Static Struct.

  Hello Everyone.
  I am performing a Fatigue Analysis inside Static Structural. I need to input the Load Force as a Load Block Force, as showed below:
  
  However, I do not know how to do it. Below is my Project Outline Structure:
  Where I can set up this specific load block force? "Remote Force" as "Tabular" or "Function"? "Fatigue Tool Loading" History Data? Do I need to elaborate a matrix, xls, dat or txt with the load forces?
  
  Load forces are only in "Y" Direction, compression and tension.
  Thank you!

  The Mechanical Fatigue Tool (FT) does not directly support that type of loading. To use the FT, you would need to run 6 individual fatigue evaluations and then use a Fatigue Combination to linearly combine the damages (Miner's rule).
