nCode DesignLife is a design tool that identifies critical locations and calculates realistic fatigue lives from leading Finite Element results for both metals and composites. It features advanced capabilities to rapidly deliver accurate fatigue life predictions. Major OEMs and their suppliers use nCode DesignLife worldwide to answer questions like “how long will it last?” or “will it pass the test?” before a prototype is even made.
Virtual strain gauge and virtual sensors enable correlation between test and FE results.
Crack growth provides a complete fracture mechanics capability using industry standard methodologies for specified locations on an FE model.
FE-Display enables the graphical display of FE models with contours of stress results.
Automotive EV BIW lightweighting: predict fatigue failure in novel structures/materials. Used nCode DesignLife with AMCT material characterization to build a standardized fatigue materials database, enabling a global process and more reliable design decisions.
