midas FEA NX: Fatigue Analysis for Structural Connections

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
