ANSYS 19.1 nCode DesignLife ANSYS nCode DesignLifePredict your product’s fatigue life before you build it ANSYS nCode DesignLife works with ANSYS Mechanical to reliably evaluate fatigue life. Using the results of finite element analysis (FEA) from ANSYS Mechanical, it calculates stresses and strains, then cumulates damage from repetitive loading to determine a product’s predicted life. You can quickly evaluate the effects of different materials and alternative geometries for new designs, and then optimize them for the product’s expected usage — long before the first prototype is built. CapabilitiesANSYS nCode DesignLife, the industry-leading tool for durability analysis, gives you a comprehensive diagnostic fatigue process to predict your product’s operational lifetime. It is fully integrated into ANSYS Workbench for ease of use...
nCode Altair HyperWorks DesignLife v11nCode DesignLife is a leading CAE solution for fatigue life prediction from finite element results. DesignLife enables engineers to go beyond simplified stress analysis and avoid under- or over-designing products by simulating actual loading conditions. DesignLife was recently used in collaboration with an alpha version of Altair’s Durability Director for the Durability Overnight project; an undertaking where an entire durability simulation was achieved in only a few hours. Durability Director supports the fatigue analysis process by incorporating the management of finite element and multi-body dynamic simulation jobs Altair plans to support nCode DesignLife for use with Durability Director in the future. HyperWorks users can gain access to DesignLife through the HyperWorks Partner Alliance, a program which...
nCode DesignLifeStreamlining the CAE Durability Process nCode DesignLife provides fatigue life prediction from finite element results to answer the question \”how long will it last?\” or \”will it pass the test?\” before you even have prototype. Go beyond simplified stress analysis and avoid under or over-designing your products by simulating actual loading conditions. For over 30 years, nCode products have established a reputation for the development of leading fatigue technology pioneering the world’s first commercial off-the-shelf FEA-based fatigue tool, P/Fatigue*, in the early 1990’s. Since then, nCode products have continued to invest in the development of cutting edge technology to provide solutions for large model sizes and realistic loading schedules. Unique capabilities include the ability to simulate shaker tests by...

ANSYS nCode DesignLifeMaking informed product design decisions to improve your product\’s durability is increasingly important in today’s highly competitive economic climate. Organizations are under pressure to reduce cost, decrease time to market and improve sustainability as well as push for longer product life. Product failure can result in recalls, high repair costs, legal liabilities and damage to a product brand. To be successful you need to reach the right balance in your product design. Designs that are too conservative are costly to manufacture and may not be competitive, while less conservative product designs may fail while in useFatigue, a major source of product failure, can sometimes result in significant damage and injuries. When exposed to repeated cyclic loadings most products...
