(HBM nCode: Southfield, MI) -- nCode, the leading brand of durability, test, and analysis products offered by HBM, will be releasing new solutions for thermo-mechanical fatigue calculations in the next release of nCode DesignLife version 8. It will enable a wide range of high-temperature durability simulations.

nCode DesignLife uses stress and temperature results from industry-standard, finite-element
software and provides computer-aided engineering (CAE) durability simulation to estimate component life in these extreme operating conditions. Building upon previous projects with industry partners investigating available thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) methods, the commercial software implementation in nCode DesignLife 8 will provide cost-effective tools that can be used to solve real-world design problems.
