PARAM, CNST4FAT

Bulk Data Entry Defines the Corner Stress type for Fatigue analysis, if Corner Stress type is not requested, via the corresponding STRESS output request.

Parameter Values Description
CNST4FAT <BILIN, CUBIC, SGAGE>
BILIN (Default)
Corner Stresses for Fatigue Analysis are calculated at the grid points using bilinear extrapolation.
CUBIC
Corner Stresses for Fatigue Analysis are calculated at the grid points using the strain gage approach with cubic bending correction.
SGAGE
Corner Stresses for Fatigue Analysis are calculated at the grid points using the strain gage approach.
