I am new for fatigue calculation.I want to conduct fatigue analysis for load case involving modal frequency response with acceleration load using power spectral density, I dont know how to calculate fatigue life from PSD, please any one help me with the steps involved in it in detail.

Thanks,

    it is not necessary to have PSD data. in excel sheet create a sine curve with amplitude F. F * sinA, A 0 to 360. then save it as .csv file. now you can do fatigue calculations as usual and use this excel sheet instead of PSD data.

    Dear Aranmech,

    How can I load excel csv to load collector? I choose analysis->forces->curve. I don't know where should I load csv data.

    I'm using HyperMesh v11.0.
