How to apply cyclic/fluctuating/alternating loading in Franc2D?

How to perform fatigue crack analysis using Franc2D software? I couldn't find how to apply cyclic/fluctuating/alternating loading in Franc2D.

Thomas Havelka

Do you have a solution in the meanwhile? I have exactly the same question in the moment :-). I just can arrange the crack growth with quasi-static calculation methods. In both Franc 2D and Franc2D/L I cannot find this function.

I wanted to use VCCI/MCCI in combination with the cyclic load.
