RecurDyn/Durability is a toolkit for fatigue simulation

RecurDyn/Durability is a toolkit for fatigue simulation that calculates fatigue strength and durability such as fatigue life, fatigue damage, and safety factor from the stress and strain results of a flexible body obtained through MFBD (Multi Flexible Body Dynamics) analysis. It provides the prediction theory for engineering fatigue and about 180 material libraries.

In RecurDyn environment, the dynamic analysis of rigid bodies and flexible bodies and the calculation of fatigue strength can be performed quickly and easily without exchanging data with other software. Both FFlex and RFlex are supported the fatigue simulation using Durability.

Features

• Supports various fatigue analysis theory
• (Manson-Coffin, ASME, Brown-Miller, Morrow, Smith-Watson-Topper, Goodman, Gerber)
  

• Provides about 180 material libraries

• Supports User-Define S-N Curve (Linear/Exponential Interpolation Type, Mean Stress Effect)
  
• Supports both FFlex and RFlex
• Visually displays the Damage Vector and Maximum Damage Vector through the contour

• The Safety Factor for the desired Node or Patch in the contour result

• Displays Rainflow Counting in Microsoft Excel

• Displays Stress/Strain Time History as a graph in RecurDyn
  
• Calculates Rainflow Counting and Time History results for the specified patch
  

Benefits

• Easily performs from flexible body dynamics to durability analysis in RecurDyn without exchanging data with other software
