Virtual Fatigue Tests and Virtual Load Tests

With software solutions from HBM nCode you can perform virtual fatigue and load tests already on the CAD models of your components.

That means you can benefit from accurate predictability and simulation data even in the early phases of development . Based on that predictability you can optimize your physical tests and checks on the later prototype. The ideal solution for CAE durability predictions and service life analysis!

"We selected DesignLife because it combines an intuitive interface, the analysis functionality we needed for rotating machinery, as well as the ability to use complex load cases. nCode engineers worked with us during the evaluation process, ensuring that the DesignLife solution meets our needs." Dr. W. Meeusen, Head of Product Technology at Hansen Transmissions
