Assignment of multiple materials in FATDEF card in fatigue analysis.

muhammad ibrahim

i want to assign multiple properties in a single go while defining FATDEF card, since it takes only single property at a time with PFAT ID, this way it also takes too many separate FATDEF cards for each single property and so multiple Fatigue subcases.

Hello Muhammad, 

You can assign multiple properties in FATDEF updating the NUMIDS to a given number as below:

Here I will have 5 PSOLID properties under the same FATDEF card.

If this works for you, please consider marking this answer as correct to help others in our community. Thanks!

thanks alot for your reply, however a found another way of doing it by creating element sets and then assigning the element set in FATDEF card.
