ANSYS nCode DesignLife The majority of structural failures occur from fatigue. For estimating the onset of failure from repetitive loading, you no longer need laborious hand calculations or spreadsheets. Modern fatigue analysis tools ― like ANSYS nCode DesignLife ― predict the fatigue life of both components and complete products rapidly and accurately.Predicting Fatigue Life Fatigue finite element analysis (FEA) starts with a structural simulation to calculate the stresses and strains in each part of a model due to a single load. You then combine these results with material models and a description of the repetitive loading that the product is expected to undergo during its use. ANSYS nCode DesignLife automates this comprehensive fatigue analysis process and accurately captures all data,...
