Specifies the number of load cycles. If the harmonic load case is also subjected to fatigue loading, enter the number of expected cycles. This is an optional value.

The load cycle value is the anticipated number of applications of the load on the system. This value is used to determine the allowable stress from the fatigue curve for the material.

For static cases, the full range of calculated stresses is considered. For dynamic cases, half the range (that is, the amplitude) of calculated stresses is considered.
