Dear Luisa,
NX NASTRAN do not perform fatigue analysis, but you are lucky: winLIFE for FEMAP can do the job perfectly. You can perform fatigue analysis using stresses from any type of loading, including thermal stress. You can donwload a DEMO version of winLIFE, limited in model size, please visit

or directly the developer in Germany

Best regards,
Blas.

If you have access to MSC Nastran 2013 or higher versions, you can use Nastran Embedded Fatigue to run the stress analysis and the fatigue analysis in a single job. Otherwise, you need to run stress job in Nastran, and use a fatigue analysis tool to run the fatigue simulation.
