HyperLife Overview
A comprehensive fatigue solutions framework.
HyperLife is an easy-to-learn fatigue analysis software developed on a solver-neutral framework. It provides a comprehensive tool set for durability analysis, directly interfacing with all the major finite element analysis (FEA) and multi-body dynamics (MBS) result files. With an embedded material library, HyperLife offers solutions for fatigue life predictions under static and transient loading across a wide range of industrial applications.
Benefits
- Easy to learn and easy to use graphical interface to perform Fatigue Life predictions.
- Solver neutral framework interfacing leading FEA results data.
- Embedded material database.
- Specialty module to perform simultaneous fatigue analysis on base material and welded joints according to numerous design codes and guidelines.*
- Customizable environment to add new or in-house functionality.*
*Beta version in the 2019 release.
