I know we can set material property of fatigue in MATFAT.

 

And we can set the SN curve points of the material.

 

I am curious about can we use the TABLE's type to import our material data in fatigue material?

 

Because at the thermal we can do for this.

And I also have problem about the FATPARM's instruction of COMBINE

 

what is 'SG' mean?  Because I have seen it shown like the photo and it also written in SGVON (SG von-Mises)

    In HyperWorks desktop 2017.2.3 version we have generic table data which would replace other table like TABLED1/TABLES1/TABLEM1.

    Currently for Fatigue analysis MATFAT is the only way to define material property.

     

    You can install latest hwSolversHelp2017.2.3_hotfix. SG is for Signed vonmises.

    @Rahul R Thanks for your reply!

     

    I got it so we can't use TABLE type for fatigue.
