Why is it Important ?
Why do we need to do Fatigue Analysis?
...Between 80 - 90% of all structural failures occur through a
fatigue mechanism
...The estimated annual cost of fracture and fatigue to the US
was 4.4% of GDP

Q.
What is the difference between ANSYS nCode DesignLife and the ANSYS
Fatigue module?
A.
The ANSYS Fatigue module is very limited in what it can do. No critical plane
capability and therefore no non-proportional non-constant amplitude
loading. Loading is limited to a single time history or a specific 2 load case
option. ANSYS Fatigue cannot analyze multiple events (It has no duty cycle
capabilities). Also, it does not support vibration, spot-weld, or seam-weld

Q.
Are there any Fatigue capabilities that ANSYS customers use that are not
available in nCode DesignLife or its modules?
A.
Currently, ANSYS nCode DesignLife does not perform the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel fatigue calculations as specified by this code. This
will be in the R14 release.
Notably:
Through thickness integration of
stresses
Linearize stresses to determine
equivalent membrane and bending
stresses
Consistent method of stress
recovery for solid models
