Dear All,
I am trying to develop a new SN curve within Ncode Designlife using the material manager. Using the fatigue theory guide I generate all the parameters for aluminum uisng the equations given and the UTS of the material. I chart this in excel and everything looks good. The B1 value is good as well as the Stress level at 10^3 cycle and 5^8 cycles.
When I go to enter the material in the material manager all is inputted with no problems. When I go to the graph the intercept at Cycle 1 is correct however the stress values at 10^3 cycle and 5^8 cycles are much higher then the calculated values.
For the life of me I can not figure out what is going on. I would rather import the actual curve but can only find the parameter way to generate the curve. I would feel much better with the results of the graph matched the actual values plugged in.
Values USed
UTS 315.000
SRI1 745.807
S1 220.500
S2 81.270
B1 -0.0761
NC1 5E+08
B2 -0.040
SE 0.100
RR -1.000
UTS Cor 630
Graph shows 155 Mpa for S2 when it should be 82 Mpa. S1 should be 220 graph shows 425.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
