This is also a useful utility if you wish to quickly identify on the graphics screen which node (or element) has the most damage or the shortest life. This feature is accessible from the main MSC Fatigue setup form in the Results... form by setting the Action to Identify Location. There are several options depending on which type of analysis you have performed and what results are available.

For nodal results, the node with the shortest life is highlighted, circled and pointed to with a vector arrow which also reports the life value. The life is also reported in the invoking form with the node number indicated in the databox.

For elemental results, the element is highlighted.
