The crankshaft is one of the main enginecomponents directly affected by the permanentdemand for increased specific output of combustionengines. In order to achieve reliable designs,simulation tools providing accurate results arerequired to analyze crankshaft dynamics behaviorand durability.AVL EXCITE Power Unit has proven its ability tocalculate results close to the real ones in manyprojects and when compared with experimentalresults. The use of two distinct categories ofcrankshaft 3D dynamic models is offered: either acondensed volumetric FE model obtained by combined static and dynamic reduction using commercialFE solvers or a novel modeling technique developed by AVL, the crankshaft ‘structured model’. For thelatter a fully automated procedure for the model set up starting from CAD has been implemented.Product:AVL EXCITE Fatigue 5.4 Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:319MB

Key Capabilities MODELING: MSC.Fatigue provides advanced graphical modeling capabilities for manipulating FE meshes, defining fatigue and fracture parameters, and preparing analytical models for fatigue life prediction. ANALYSIS INTEGRATION: MSC.Fatigue supports FE results from a large range of FE codes such as MSC.Nastran, MSC.Marc, ANSYS and ABAQUS. Analysis types supported include linear static, transient, frequency response, random vibration and residual stresses from nonlinear analyses. MATERIALS DATA: MSC.Fatigue features a comprehensive materials database manager to generate, define, query, compare, tabulate, and graphically view cyclic materials data. The MSC.Fatigue materials database supports monotonic, nominal stress-life (component and material S-N curves), crack initiation, and crack growth data sets. SERVICE LOADS: MSC.Fatigue allows access to realistic, complex loading descriptions as well as experimental and measured...

MSC.Fatigue is an advanced life simulator that allows analysts to easily transform finite element stress and strain results into fatigue life predictions. Fatigue analysis is a natural extension to a stress analysis. In fact, a fatigue analysis is basically a stress analysis that is subjected to repeated loads and that takes into account durability properties of a component or structure. MSC.Fatigue enables analysts to leverage traditional stress analyses with state-of-the-art methodologies for comprehensive durability simulations early in the design cycle. MSC.Fatigue takes stress or strain results from finite element (FE) models, subjects FE load environments to user-defined time variations, and applies cyclic material properties & damage logic to predict service life. MSC.Fatigue leverages the state-of-the-art results visualization capabilities of MSC.Patran...
