Fatigue sequential loading

Hi,
I am trying to learn fatigue using optistruct , Please share me with the videos and fem files regarding fatigue. I already went through the fatigue tutorials in optistruct
If I put all of the fatload into one fatevnt, are they now occurring simultaneously? How do I change the model that the loads occurs one after each other?
Thankyou

Hi @Rahul R,
I tried using the SQNTL in FATEVNT load collector.
I got error ' TID field in FATLOAD 9 must be a blank because of SQTNL in FATEVNT 10. '
Tried leaving the TID field in FATLOAD 9 blank. Resulted in some other error ' ERROR # 1000 *** in the input data: Incorrect data in field # 3.'
Please guide me how to clear the SQNTL loading errors
Thank you

Thankyou, its working.
My doubt is you have left the TID fields blank for the FATLOAD card. It doesn't require the loading time history ?
How loading time history specified in Sequential loading?


HI @Karthic
I agree. But in document it says TID should be blank,
I have written to experts on this to get a clarification. I will update you soon.

Hi Prakash,
Thankyou for writing to experts, awaiting for the experts reply/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />


Hi @Karthic
Right now sequential loading is not supported with tabfat. SQTNL is used for rotor dynamic cases for example.
Concern team is going to add more information on SQTNL soon.
if at all SQTNL wants to be used, then you would have to create separate events

Thank you for the quick response.
1. So you mean sequential loading without TABFAT is OK ?
OR
2. Creating separate events and calling all in FATSEQ card is ok ?
Please make sure to use latest path of OptiStruct 2017.2.3.Please refer attached screenshot for your query.
