View Long Term Heat Aging Plots
Understand a material's thermal endurance and Arrhenius parameters by visualizing Long Term Heat Aging (LTHA) plots.
-
Select a material.
The Info tab displays general information about the selected material.
-
Click Plots.
The Plots list is displayed.
-
Select the LTHA Stress at Break plot from the list.
The selected plot is displayed.
-
Click on the plot options menu.
Tip: Hover over the plot area to view the plot options.The LTHA Stress at Break and Thermal Endurance plots are displayed.
-
To analyze the material data, enter a threshold value in Define
threshold in %.
The Thermal Endurance points are displayed. If a minimum of three thermal endurance points are intersected then a regression line is drawn automatically and it calculates the Arrhenius Parameter for a material.

Select the Percentaged Representation check box.
The thermal endurance result is calculated in percentage with the 100% stress applied to the material at different temparatures.
