midas FEA NX: Fatigue Analysis for Structural Connections

Written by JC Sun | Feb 17, 2022 6:10:25 PM

In this Intro Session our MIDAS engineer explained show how midas FEA NX uses 20-node solid isoparametric elements to perform life estimation of steel structure connections. The session would also cover two different approaches (stress-life and strain-life) on which fatigue analysis is based using the finite element method. The session covers the following points:

    • Overview of fatigue analysis
    • Life estimation models
    • S-N Approach
    • E-N Approach
    • Examples in FEA NX
