Fatigue, a major source of product failure, can sometimes result in significant damage and injuries. When exposed to repeated cyclic loadings most products will eventually fail. Fatigue is caused by repeated or otherwise varying loads and only occurs from exposure to repetitive stress over time as microscopic changes become cracks that causes the malfunction. Breakdown of any product or part, even when not catastrophic, can result in hefty expenses. Optimizing the shape, size and materials employed by using simulation is the most cost-effective way to arrive at the desired product life.

The combination of reliable ANSYS structural mechanics technology and industry-leading simulation platform with time-tested durability capabilities from HBM delivers a product that is ideal for predicting product life. ANSYS nCode DesignLife enables engineers to evaluate product life using a complete fatigue simulation process. This 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 the product life is determined, and optimization can occur.
