One of the biggest challenges in predicting fatigue failure is characterizing the load over the lifetime of a part. Using simulation solutions, like ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS nCode DesignLife, engineers can run numerous load and design variations to ensure their products meet fatigue specifications and will continue to perform beyond the warranty period. Better yet, they can perform simulations and optimizations before building the product. In this way, engineers can make improvements early in the development cycle and utilize optimization algorithms to further streamline the design process. In this webinar, participants will learn the difference between material fatigue and high- and low-cycle fatigue failure, plus how to account for fatigue in design using simulation.

The evolution of 5G systems is rooted in the consistently increasing need for more data. Whether the application is future medical systems, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, AR/VR, IoT, or standard mobile communications systems, all require an ever-increasing amount of data. For 5G systems to reliably work, the physical data pathways must be well understood and reliably designed. Whether the pathway is in the chip or the wireless channel, large amounts of data must seamlessly flow unimpeded. This presentation will discuss the various data paths in 5G systems and how Multiphysics analysis can help design these paths to allow for maximum data integrity.
The safety analysis of electronics systems is a precondition for obtaining necessary certifications, but may consume more than half of the overall development effort. Ansys medini analyze provides aerospace manufacturers of these systems (and their components) with dedicated support for functional safety analysis. Medini analyze customers report up to 55% decreases in both functional safety analysis efforts and time to market. The model-based tool also eliminates inconsistencies in functional safety analysis work products and accelerates the certification process, especially with respect to design changes.

With Ansys GRANTA MI Enterprise, users manage the full materials data lifecycle, from test data to design and beyond. Workflow tools ensure smooth capture, processing and approval of data, information and expertise, enabling users to fully integrate the flow of materials information into their business practices.
EWI’s implementation of Ansys Granta MI for additive manufacturing (AM) was done to enable innovation and collaboration through more effective project data management. Collaboration cannot proceed unless project members can reliably share data and know that they have a complete and accurate picture of project results and analyses. This is made possible with the Granta MI solution.
An electronic engineering (E/E) module supplier had to meet an automotive OEM’s reliability metric of 97% (less than 3% risk of failure) over a 10-year durability period for a new E/E module. To determine whether the supplier’s product meets the reliability goal, the automotive OEM requested that the modules be subjected to thermal cycling tests with OEM-defined parameters.The E/E module supplier suspected that the automotive OEM’s thermal cycling parameters were unnecessarily severe. The supplier commissioned the use of Ansys Sherlock to test the module’s field durability against the thermal cycling tests using simulation-aided testing. A 3D FEA model was built of the supplier’s E/E module in a CAE environment, using the OEM’s definition of annual thermal cycling to model the 10-year field profile.
The client designs and manufactures industrial electric heaters, sensors and controllers. In an assembly process, they have experienced field failures on several boards and have tracked the failure to a specific ball grid array (BGA). They believed the failure was due to separation between some of the outer BGA balls (typically corner balls) and the board. However, what was not clear was whether the separation was related to soldering, contamination, cracking or some other issue. To get to the bottom of the issue, the client asked DfR Solutions to perform a destructive failure analysis to identify the root cause.
In the last decade, CAE tools have become a major product design component within the manufacturing industry. CAE has reduced development cost and time to market for new products.

As designers embrace the promising new world of AM, they must tackle new challenges as designing for AM requires a different approach than traditional manufacturing processes. Designers also need to ensure that their part will print accurately during the manufacturing process. To accomplish this, they must leverage reliable, specialized tools for AM. To accelerate the design, development and qualification process of an AM part, manufacturers are using simulation and process monitoring. This webinar spotlights Ansys’ comprehensive and scalable simulation solution for minimizing AM processing risks. We will discuss how process simulation reduces the need for trial and error experimental iterations. Additionally, we will illustrate how simulation helps companies predict whether a digital design will be produced successfully. Understand design for AM. Receive expert insights on build setup.
