Creo Simulate Fatigue Log Life Results

[JoeMartin]

Looking at the Fatigue study results, can anyone offer any clarification on the Log Life values?  For this model Creo is giving me a Log Life of (20).  

How does this calculate to the life of the component if the desired life in the study was set to 50K cycle

Take a look:

The picture should look different, see my example:

Number 6 corresponds to 1 million load cycles,

Number 7 corresponds to 10 million load cycles.

[JoeMartin]

In other words, if the load cycles I input into the study setup was (50,000) and my Log Life result was (20) the the total number of cycles to failure is (50,000^20) cycles?
