nCode DesignLife is a CAE-based fatigue analysis system that contains a comprehensive set of solvers and advanced methods for predicting structural durability from major finite element analysis (FEA) result files. It identifies critical locations and calculates realistic fatigue lives for both metals and composites. Design engineers can go beyond performing simplified stress analysis and avoid under- or over-designing products by simulating actual loading conditions to avoid costly design changes.

High quality fatigue parameters

 

The Premium Materials Database contains 150+ fatigue curves for materials like steel, aluminum, titanium, and more. These fatigue properties increase confidence in life prediction, and include scatter estimates to calculate probability of survival.

Fatigue characterisation and material testing

 

In order to achieve the closest fatigue estimation for design, we recommend using material parameters from material tested in the exact condition. This means using the composition, manufacturing route, and heat treatment condition (including strength) that is directly relevant to the component. These parameters should ideally come from test coupons machined from an actual component.
