By: @\ AUTODESK.Support jul 02 2018, SHARE $ ADD TO COLLECTION + Issue: What are the meaning of the “Life Contour" and "Damage Contour" results in a fatigue analysis? Solution: The "Life Contour" is the life of the model measured in units of time. The number of cycles to failure can be calculated by dividing this result by the duration of each cycle, (The duration of each cycle is the larger of the "Fatigue Setup > Event Duration” or the time difference on the "Load History Table Data’) The "Damage Contour" is 1/number of cycles to failure.See UAGEP SK.
