Mechanical load tab so it is not presented. For the Residual stress tab shown in Fig. 13(b), the user can enter the coefficients of a residual stress profile or allow the software to select the recommended profile in the standard. The Material window has two main tabs to specify properties of base material and weld material (if weldment exists). Both tabs contain almost similar information, so only Base material tab is presented (Fig. 14). The mechanical properties are organized into tabs of Tensile , Fracture toughness , and Crack growth , with details of each tab shown in Fig. 14(a) - (c), respectively. The user can perform an assessment after completing the information and analysis options. The result of each assessment type or level is separately saved in a text file that can be displayed in the Result tab of the Main window (Fig. 11(c)).
