Industries using fatigue simulation
Heavy Truck
Bio-medical equipment
Automotive
Aeropsace
Turbocharger Housing
ANSYS calculates the stress
history due to a 30 minute
thermal cycle, and the stresses
due to a 40 Hz mechanical
excitation.
DesignLife superimposes the
thermal and mechanical stresses
into a 720,000 point time history
and calculates the turbocharger
housings life in hours of
operation.
Product integrity
Through informed design decisions
Planned & Designed durability of products
Comprehensive reusable fatigue process
Capturing the users process
Ability to run long time histories
Optimization and parametric analysis
Right design decisions to avoid failure in
an increasing competitive climate
