Full integration into ANSYS Workbench
ANSYS nCode DesignLife™ software is fully integrated into the ANSYS Workbench platform so users benefit from the combined power of the two systems including shared material models for fatigue in engineering data, easy click-and-drop problem setup, use of parameters for optimization and design exploration.

High-Speed Solver
A large number of cyclic loadings can be applied in a matter of minutes with the high-speed solver within ANSYS nCode DesignLife. For very large complex models, parallel processing can be used to reduce the elapsed time for calculations. ANSYS nCode DesignLife parallel performance is highly efficient and improves linearly with the number of processors used.
Comprehensive Fatigue Analysis Capabilities
Various forms of analysis are available for short to long cyclic loading including stress-life, strain-life, multi-axial safety factor, high-temperature fatigue and more.
Full Library of Material Models
The nCode material library, integrated within ANSYS Workbench as part of engineering data, can be used for the structural mechanics analysis to ensure that the same material response is represented in the complete simulation.

Add-On Modules
ANSYS nCode DesignLife Parallel
Since ANSYS nCode DesignLife software can take full advantage of parallel processing, parallel licenses can be utilized to reduce the time required to simulate large models with long life cycle loadings.
ANSYS nCode DesignLife Vibration
This module adds the ability to do vibration fatigue analysis and simulate swept sine and Power Spectral Density (PSD) loadings.
ANSYS nCode DesignLife Accelerated Testing
This signal processing package is complementary to the vibration option to accelerate virtual and physical vibration tests.
ANSYS nCode DesignLife Welds
This module provides fatigue life prediction for seam welds and spot welds.
