Strength verification with FKM nonlinear including nonlinear material properties
FKM NL inside Ansys
With FKM NL inside Ansys, an automated static verification and a fatigue strength verification, for mechanically stressed components, according to the FKM guideline, can be performed in the shortest time possible, with low-cycle and high-cycle events. The final report generation includes the complete presentation of all the design parameters.
Highlights at a glance

Product description
FKM verification of static and cyclic loads with FKM NL inside Ansys
Detection in the low-cycle range now possible with an automated procedure!
With FKM NL inside Ansys, verification parameters and calculation results are introduced as result objects in Ansys Workbench. A first verification is thus permanently linked to the corresponding FE analysis. The required model data is transferred directly from Ansys Workbench and the verification is automatically calculated for all desired verification points (nodes).
