virtual life management process demo
DESCRIPTION
VEXTEC can accurately predict the life of manufactured products—from a single component to a fleet of thousands, from design to failure—before the first one is ever built. So for the very first time, you can know the viability of a product’s design, the limits of its performance, and what it’ll cost to maintain and warranty before you ever go into production. It’s the most valuable information you can get about whatever you make, and how to make it better.TRANSCRIPT

VLM Translates FEA Engineering Results into Valuable Business Results
FEA
• Grid– Artificially decided
• Constitutive equation– Single, universally applied– Homogeneous values
Stress MapHours to Days for Processing
FEA + VLM
• Grid– Use FEA grid– Superimpose natural grid
• Constitutive equation(s)– Multiple, simultaneously applied– Values statistically vary
Probability of Failureand Lifecycle Impact
