Altair HyperMesh Interfacing with nSOFT

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/303282.html
Guidelines for using the nSOFT Interface
Follow these steps when using the nSOFT interface:
1.Load the finite element model of the structure or component to be analyzed.
2.Apply the loads that represent the loading environment for which the fatigue life is to be
evaluated.
These loads can be static loads for a static finite element analysis with load histories supplied in nSOFT. The stress and strain tensor for each static loadcase can then be written for nSOFT from the fatigue panel.Or,the loads can be transient loads that can be analyzed with a transient dynamic finite element analysis.The stress and strain tensor for each time-step can then be exported to nSOFT via the fatigue panel.
3.Analyze the model using the NASTRAN or ABAQUS finite element solver.
4.Translate the finite element analysis results into the HyperMesh format (hmres) using the
appropriate HyperMesh translator.
