2
structural results that define maximum stress in
conjunction with fatigue material properties and
a loading history.
The combination of reliable ANSYS structural
mechanics technology and industry-leading
simulation software with time-tested durability
capabilities from HBM delivers a product that is
ideal for predicting product life. ANSYS nCode
DesignLife™ enables you to evaluate product life
using a complete fatigue simulation progression.
The process includes interfaces to CAD geometry,
materials selection from engineering data in the
ANSYS Workbench™ material library, automatic
meshing, convenient application of initial
conditions, simulation of the response of the
structure, and transfer of this information to the
ANSYS nCode DesignLife module, where product
life is determined and optimization can occur.
