Load history decimation
In: Load history decomposition
The user can set by this option, which every value of the load history will be evaluated in the fatigue computation.
Example: Setting the value 3 for this option means that the first value in the load history is accepted, but the next one used in the computation is the fourth value (1+3) of the original sequence.
No real change will be induced in the original load history, which stays preserved.
A well-used value can significantly reduce the computation time. On the other hand, an improper use of this option can omit important points in the load history, which usually would shift the prediction to a non-conservative side.
