Does generative design optimize for high-cycle fatigue life, or is it limited to static stress analysis?

Historically, these tools have focused primarily on static stress and compliance minimization. However, for high-cycle and dynamic environments, advanced models are beginning to integrate fatigue life constraints. Because direct fatigue calculation is computationally heavy, these systems often transform fatigue life targets into stress constraints using the distortion energy theory or accumulated damage criteria (such as Palmgren-Miner's rule) during the optimization loop.
