Question:

Can I run a fatigue analysis in nTop?

Applies to:

• Simulation, Design Analysis

Answer:

Currently, we do not support transient loading conditions in our linear static solver to handle a fatigue analysis.  Fatigue, crack growth, and other dynamic simulations are best done in Simulation Specific tools.  To support these types of analysis, there are several methods of exporting files for further simulation. Take a look at all of the supported file types for export here.
