Hi!

I'm currently doing a project and it involves the use of a flat rectangular plate/beam. Dimension approximately about 100mm by 10mm by 2mm. A constant load will be applied on the end of the surface. I would like to find out if there is a way to find out the maximum number of times i can apply the load (after applying the load, it will be removed and applied on the same point again) to the beam until it fails? I would also like to know if i can apply mulitple loads, at different internal and achieve this too?

Thank you!

You will need some othe product - perhaps Autodesk Simulation.
You cannot do this analysis in Autodesk Inventor.

Thank you for the response JDMather

Which simulation software will allow me to find out fatigue failure? Autodesk Simulation 360 or Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics?

You should probably post your question over here
