I-DEAS Durability I-DEAS® Durability provides a set of analytical tools to predict the strength and fatigue safety of products subjected to static, dynamic and thermal prescribed duty cycle loading. Both uniaxial and biaxial stress cycles are considered for predicting the durability of a product designed for infinite life. I-DEAS Durability predicts the durability of a structure using linear or nonlinear stress results from I-DEAS Model Solution™, I-DEAS Variational Analysis, or external solvers. I-DEAS Advanced Durability I-DEAS® Advanced Durability provides a set of analytical tools to predict life and fatigue damage of products subjected to prescribed loading histories and duty cycles. The loading histories may be generated from test measurements or analytical methods. The life of the product is calculated using strain or stress from finite element solution. Both uniaxial and biaxial loading are considered for various standard life criteria. I-DEAS Advanced Durability provides static and transient fatigue analysis capabilities.
