Strength degradation using FatigueMaterial

Post by TOKYOTech »

Hello All,
The FatigueMaterial is used to decrease the stress of one material to 0 after several loading cycles. Is it possible to achieve the degradation of the strength of one material step by step rather than suddenly to 0 using FatigueMaterial? If not, any suggestions to achieve it? Thank you very much!

not in code as implemented .. you could copy code and make changes to suit.
