In the Workbench Fatigue Module at Release 11.0, how is the damage related to the safety factor?


The damage and the safety factor are reciprocals. The damage is the predicted cycles divided by the allowable cycles, whereas the safety factor is the allowable cycles divided by the predicted cycles. Typically the damage should be less than 1.0, and the safety factor should be greater than 1.0.
