Hello : ) I have a question. Since i am still getting used to ansys, im not sure how to acomplish what im trying to do. <\/p>\n

I have my model all setup, meshed, BC’s, Loads, etc. I have added the fatigue tool box as well. Now, i am curious to know if ansys can take what i call a “loads file” and use that for fatigue? A loads file is basically a 3 column excel file tah has Time, Fx, Fy. Where time is in seconds and they are time stamps, Fx is force in X etc etc<\/p>\n

Time    Fx    Fy
0          400    200
0.25     450     260<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

this is the basic format but imagine about 1200 cells. When graphed, it is cyclic.<\/p>\n

I was looking throug the types of loadin in the tool box and saw a “hisotry data” and was wondering if this is the same thing? if it is, whats the format need to look like? <\/p>\n

thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-352704","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["339618","490"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.59"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["279"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["352704"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["490","339618"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["352919"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["352919"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-02-21 18:42:12"]},"test":"10931418uvu-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/352704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/352704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
