ONF

This life option is for the users who may want to use their own fatigue program. The only requirement is that the program writes in ONF-format. This format can be acquired by contacting Dassault Systèmes.

The following variables must also be set in your SIMULIA Tosca Structure configuration:

${life_solver_exe} = "<name_of_life_executable>";
${life_solver_cmdline}= "<parameters_for_program>";

The optimization run starts like the other fatigue codes with the solver run, which results are first read into the SIMULIA Tosca Structure database. Then the defined life-solver is called, and the ONF-results are then read by SIMULIA Tosca Structure.
