Run the Durability Analysis

Run the durability analysis to simulate the effect of repeated load cycles on the integrity of the welds.

You can run the durability analysis only after the load stresses are calculated. The results obtained earlier are valid unless you modify the model or the loads after running the analysis.

  1. From the Simulate section of the action bar, click Model and Scenario Checks .
  2. Close the Model and Scenario Checks Status dialog box.
  3. From the Simulate section of the action bar, click Simulate .
  4. From the Location options, select Local interactive.
  5. Confirm that the FKM analysis case is selected in the table.
  6. Accept all other default selections, and click OK.
    The app runs the durability analysis case.
  7. When the simulation completes, close the Simulation Status dialog box.
    The results open in Physics Results Explorer.
