information about solid output vectors femap // advice how to calculate fatigue per element
(OP)
Hi All,
I am using femap and i have a question regarding outputvector stresses.
1) Is there a location where i can read about the differences in outputvectors 60010-60031 "normal", "shear", "principle" and with what formula the solid von mises stress is calculated?
2) I am loading a block in two directions and i want to study the fatigue stress. What is the best way to look at stresses to have an idea about the changing stress per element?
I am looking forward to a reply.

There are different approaches to fatigue analysis. The best way to conduct a fatigue analysis will depend upon your specific materials and loading conditions. The different approaches would be discussed in a fatigue/fracture mechanics textbook.

I looked in studybooks and tried already a lot, without any success, that is the reason i asked it hear.. :)
