Good day All,
I want to input variable load Time history to define fatigue loading in MSC-Partan for S-N,e-N analysis. My load is repeated blocks each blocks (Please see the file shows the loading illustration) has 2 time history (1st sine wave of o.5 amplitude last 100 cycle, and the second one start directly after the first is sine wave of 1 amplitude for 200 cycles). the sine shape can be approximated in triangle one if that help.

Do I have to do each load case (non-spatial load filed, of 1, 0.5 amplitude)
then both of them defined in one event
can I use the unit or repeat (1=100, 1=200)
please your suggestion
Thanks
