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.

Solder, which provides the structural and electrical connection between a printed wiring board (PWB) and electrical components, is the dominant material used for assembling electronics. However, solder is also one of the few structural materials that is expected to undergo significant inelastic deformation during its lifetime. Inelastic deformation damages solder, which can lead to eventual solder joint failure. Predicting when the solder joint fails is critical when using solder in harsh use environments. These harsh environments have loads that can come in several forms (i.e., drop/shock, vibration, temperature cycling). The majority of solder fatigue in electronics is thermomechanically driven due to temperature cycling which causes significant deformations and stresses due to coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatches between the PWB and components. In order to predict solder failure, a damage model must be used that relates deformation of the solder to cycles to failure. In this webinar, we will discuss material characterization of various solder alloys, predictive solder fatigue damage models using a physics-of-failure approach (PoF) and how to develop damage models using simulation and testing.
The development of new methods and instruments requires an in-depth understanding of light’s propagation and interaction with biomedical samples. Ansys simulation tools are thus required to model the properties of the instrument and the tissue sample or the organ under investigation. To calculate light propagation of the involved media, cutting-edge simulation solutions are required. Additionally, optical properties of the media, especially its spectrally resolved scattering and absorption parameters, must be determined. This webinar explores basic concepts for calculating the light propagation in biological tissues (e.g. using Monte Carlo simulations) and for determining scattering and absorption spectra of biological tissues. Examples of optical simulations for biomedical applications will be presented and several use cases for Ansys optical modeling of biomedical systems will be discussed.
This webinar will provide insight into how you can optimize your hardware and software deployments for best performance.

Traditional product design teams spend a lot of time coordinating with analysis and physical testing teams, which leads to long design cycles. As industries become more agile, it is necessary to reduce design time by equipping engineers with intelligent design tools to accelerate the process. Learn how Ansys Discovery can help you perform upfront design optimization by leveraging predefined templates for input parameters in real time and generating early insights into product behavior. Its integrated user interface and flexible design workflows help you to spend more time perfecting the design and less time coordinating operations between teams.
The number and variety of materials available today are increasing at a rate faster than at any previous time. The next generation of engineers – the ones we are educating now – will need to use materials of all sorts (conventional as well as advanced) in ways that meet more demanding technical, environmental, economic and aesthetic requirements.
