MSC Fatigue – Assess Fatigue and Component Life
MSC Fatigue combines finite element results, load histories and material data to assess component life and identify fatigue-critical areas.
Discuss MSC Fatigue with usTechnical Product Overview
Stress-life and strain-life methods, together with additional fatigue models, support different loading conditions.
Stress-life analysis
Assess fatigue life using stress histories and S-N curves.
Strain-life analysis
Use local strains to estimate life to crack initiation.
Cycle counting
Convert variable loading into load cycles using rainflow counting.
Damage assessment
Investigate how different load cycles contribute to fatigue damage.
Joint assessment
Apply suitable methods to assess fatigue in welded connections.
Simulation data
Use finite element results and loads from Adams-based workflows.
Where is MSC Fatigue used?
Cyclically loaded components
Identify fatigue-critical locations in mechanical parts.
Welded structures
Assess spot and seam welds under cyclic loading.
Service loads
Compare the effect of different load histories on predicted life.
We discuss suitable methods, material and loading data, and the appropriate version and integration with your analysis environment.
