Strain-Life Results
In a strain-life evaluation, the result is a field named interface.ctf, which is the number of cycles to failure.
When the E-N curve Model, or the Combined Basquin and Coffin Manson Model is evaluated, the computed number of cycles to failure is limited as follows: for low loads, when the number of cycles to failure becomes very large, the Cycle cutoff parameter, Ncut, provides an upper bound for the value of ctf.
When the Coffin-Manson Model is evaluated, the accumulated effective inelastic strain range, interface.Dei, is also calculated.
