Functional Value

Durability Performance Engineer enables Engineer in assessing the structural performance and durability of products during the Design process and intuitively guide design decisions. It offers:

• Product structural performance assessment capabilities under linear and nonlinear static, thermal, frequency, thermal-stress, linear dynamic and quasi-static conditions, powered by market leading Abaqus technology.

• Fatigue simulation that can predict accurate fatigue lives to ensure complex engineering products are designed for durability, and extend ordinary stress analysis to provide estimates of the lifecycle for components subjected to cyclic loads

• Unique and Powerful contact (surface pairs, detection, general contact and initialization) definition.

• Advanced and wide nonlinear material models including engineering plasticity for metals

• High quality meshing including rule-based meshing

• Includes local execution up to 8 Cores

User Experience Value

• Seamless workflow between design and simulation ensuring full associativity and providing the right technical insight at the right time during the design process

• Perform strength and durability assessment following a customizable, guided workflow for fast adoption and reduced learning curve

• Productive apps for large model 3D visualization/post-processing and XY plotting enabling design insight and decision making from results
