The header "Spectrum File V2" must be the first line in the .spe file. Scatter factor accounts for scatter in materials and loads data. The calculated life will be divided by this factor.
The Number of Cycles and Stress Factor parameters have not been implemented. Therefore, these values should be set to 1.
The "#" character is used to denote comments. All text appearing after the "#" are ignored.
