Legacy Template Overview
Importing Legacy Data
Import Legacy Data provides support in MTS TestSuite for data archived from previous software products.
The currently supported versions include:
• Model 790.20—Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF), High-Cycle Fatigue (HCF), and Advance Low-Cycle Fatigue
(ALC) version 4.2 or later
• Model 790.40—Fatigue Crack Growth (FCG) version 4.2 or later
• Model 790.50—Fracture Toughness with J-Integral Characterization of Fracture Toughness (JIC),
Linear Elastic Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness of Metallic Materials (KIC), and E1820 Crack-Tip
Opening Displacement (CTOD) version 4.2 or later
Specialized templates map the archived data to the current format and variables for analysis:
• Advance Low-Cycle Fatigue (ALC)
• E1820 Crack-Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD)
• Fatigue Crack Growth (FCG)
