Realize Your Product Promise™ Fatigue Products

Ensure product integrity by designing for durability with ANSYS fatigue software. Understanding if and when a product can fail reduces product — and organizational — risk and cost. The ultra-competitive nature of today’s economy has steered product development organizations to reduce costs, improve time to market, build in innovation and design for sustainability. And now there’s a new push: prolonging product life and ensuring durability. Recent headlines highlight the massive costs of product recalls, warranties, environmental remediation and regulatory penalties. But these pale compared to...

Multi-axial stress fatigue life Seam weld fatigue life 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...

Life contour of a trailer hitch identifies the shortest life spot. Apply our accurate, reliable technology to a wide range of fatigue scenarios. Reliable Durability Technology ANSYS nCode DesignLife software delivers modern, industry-proven fatigue capabilities. You can simulate all types of exposure to damage from fatigue, including: • • • • Stress life (SN) for high-cycle fatigue Strain life (EN) for low- and high-cycle fatigue Crack growth Safety factor (Dang Van) for predicting endurance limit under complex loadings • Weld analysis for spot and seam welds • Enhanced vibration analysis including...

P1 - Ball Diameter P2 - Neck Radius P3 - Shank Length P4 - Fillet Radius P5 - Side Wall Thickness The optimized hitch has double the fatigue life of the original part. A sensitivity chart demonstrates how input parameters influence output parameters. Using this tool, a user can focus on parameters with the greatest improvement on fatigue life and least impact on product weight. Correlation with Test Data ANSYS nCode DesignLife includes tools to help combine and correlate test data with simulation results. A wide range of data processing functions enable manipulation, editing and display of measured...
