Greater Insight for Test & CAE Correlation using nCode 2019

HBM Prenscia is pleased to announce the release of nCode 2019, offering improvements in functionality and performance for nCode DesignLife, nCode GlyphWorks and nCode VibeSys.

This latest release focuses on additional capabilities to help engineers better understand test results and CAE durability simulations. The new Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) analysis capability in nCode VibeSys enables users to compare measured vibration mode shapes with simulated results. “It is vital to have the right model dynamics to achieve a good fatigue simulation. These new capabilities help the CAE engineer understand if the dynamics match test results. They also help engineers select the right locations for sensors to get test results right the first time.” said Frédéric Kihm, nCode Product Manager at HBM Prenscia. Other fatigue analysis related capabilities in nCode 2019 include advanced manipulations of rainflow matrices in nCode GlyphWorks and new methods for simulating the fatigue of seam welds in nCode DesignLife. The Premium Materials Database now includes strain-life fatigue properties for additive manufactured titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) in 5 different conditions.
