The Bin size spin box is used for rainflow cycle counting. Bin size is the number of bins in stress range histogram and fatigue damage ratio charts. Changing this value will not affect calculation results; rather, it only changes the presentation of the results. The default value is 18. The value range is from 5 to 200.
The von Mises radio button in Basquin basis group box is automatically checked because von Mises stresses were entered.
Because nonproportional loading is not applicable to Basquin model, the Proportional radio button in Loading Type group box is automatically checked by the program.
The Stress type Labeling group is for labeling the charts if the user choose to show node/element number on the charts; checking any of the radio buttons has no effect on the analysis results.
Select report type by checking Summary, or Report, or Detailed report radio button.
