Rainflow Cycle Counting
Category: Post Processing
Problem
What algorithm is used in Bladed to do rainflow cycle counting?
Solution
The rainflow cycle calculating in Bladed is based on the algorithm by S. D. Downing and D. F. Socie in their paper "Simple rainflow cycle algorithms"
The algorithm used is "Rainflow Algorithm II (one-pass)"
