S-Life Plastics by PART Engineering

Warum Standardized strength assessments for plastic components.?

S-Life Plastics incorporates simulation results into a standardized evaluation process for plastic components. This makes it easier to evaluate static strength and, above all, fatigue strength in a transparent manner—even in the absence of design limits, when dealing with anisotropic material behavior, and under variable loads.

Vorteile

Few Material Properties Required: For common polymers, an integrated and extendable polymer material database is included and an easy procedure to add data is provided.
Easy and Fast: Prevent mistakes through simple handling and time saving through automated determination of critical load case combinations if multiple loads are applied.
Reliable Procedure: S-Life Plastics conducts influencing factors onto the local component strength, like multiaxiality, aging, condition, temperature, and load duration.
