ID

Each FATSEQ card must have a unique ID. FATSEQ Subcase Information entry may reference this identifier. Alternatively this ID may be referenced by other FATSEQ definitions.

No default (Integer > 0)

FID#

Identification number of FATSEQ or FATEVNT entry (see Comment 2)

No default (Integer > 0)

N#

Number of times this loading sequence or event is repeated. Repeat number (N#) has no effect on the results of a Factor of Safety (FOS) analysis.

Default = 1 (Integer > 0)

Comments

1.Identification numbers of FATSEQ and FATEVNT entries share the same ID pool.
2.A fatigue subcase should reference the same subcase types through FATSEQ and FATEVNT entries (for example, either static subcases or transient subcases can be referenced, but not both). Referencing a combination of subcase types is not allowed.
3.This card is represented as a loadcollector in HyperMesh.
