Load scale for SN sequential Simsolid

Hi

I would like to ask if there is any rule to apply load scale in Simsolid SN Sequential sequence setup ?

For example, if it assumed the stress study was set up with 20kN static load. This implied that when fully reversed, the alternating stress amplitude was actually 40kN. So is that the scale factor is 2 ? Or there is other thing it should be counted when it is applied the load scale in simsolid?

    It can be used to scale the loads from static analysis. for example, if you apply a unit load in static analysis but the actual operating load is 20kN, then you can apply a scale factor of 20k in your fatigue setup.

    To get alternating stresses, add two loadcases with a scale factor of 1 and -1 respectively.
