-
Under the Temperature Factor field heading, click .
-
In the dialog, select temperature factor from the drop-down menu.
- None: Ctemp = 1
- User Defined: Enter a Ctemp value between 0.0 and
1.0
- FKm: Input a temperature in degrees Celsius and select a material type.
Ctemp is automatically calculated.

Click OK.
The temperature factor is used to update the fatigue strength reduction
factor.
Kf (mod) = Kf /
Ctemp
