MSC CAEfatigue 2024 for PC Windows

Description

Some estimates put the annual costs in the United States due to premature fatigue fractures in structural components at as much as 4% of the gross domestic product. Yet testing against repeated loading cycles, sometimes millions of times over, is often too expensive and time-consuming to be practical.

Finite element analysis programs can tell you where stress “hot spots” exist, but they can’t tell you whether those hot spots are critical areas for fatigue failure or when fatigue might become a problem. To avoid contributing further to this statistic, many manufacturers accept long prototype-development cycles, overweight components, unpredictable warranty claims, and loss of customer confidence.

MSC Fatigue enables durability engineers to quickly and accurately predict how long products will last under any combination of time-dependent or frequency-dependent loading conditions. Benefits include reduced prototype testing, fewer product recalls, lower warranty costs, and increased confidence that your product designs will pass required test schedules.

With its advanced life estimation capability, MSC Fatigue allows users to perform comprehensive fatigue analysis with the same FE results as stress analysis. The environment seamlessly enables CAE, dynamic analysis, and durability to be managed in one user-friendly interface. It includes advanced modules developed by MSC Software over 20 years and more recent modules developed as part of the nCode DesignLife suite of programs.
