As we know that SACS already use rainflow counting method in the fatigue calculation of Time History Analysis

"I request SACS to separate the rainflow counting out as a separate module which user can call to use with other module rather than only fatigue module"

Currently, it is a lot of projects required to perform Time History analysis. The information are required to transfer between party to party i.e. structural loading to foundation engineer.

Fatigue calculation of pile or suction bucket are currently required by client. As an structural engineer we have to provide the loading VS their cycle for geotechnical engineer to calculate the effect of cyclic loading.

Time history analysis will create random loading signal which is required some technique like Rainflow counting to convert from random signal to be Typical loading VS cycle.

If SACS will have an option for user to just convert randam signals i.e. reactions, displacement etc. to Loading range VS cycle directly. It will be very useful and efficient.
