Basic Training for Endurica Rubber Fatigue Simulation Software
2026-11-10 - 2026-11-11
This online workshop meets from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4) on Tuesday, November 10 and Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Recordings of each day’s sessions are emailed to attendees for review and reference.
Learn the basics of Endurica’s simulation workflows
Start making an impact now with Endurica’s software workflows to virtually evaluate fatigue performance and solve design issues. After this workshop you will be able to use each of the Endurica solvers to simulate your elastomeric part.
Endurica’s live, online training makes it easy
This workshop provides hands-on experience for understanding and wielding the power of Endurica’s workflows. You will learn from our founder, Dr. Will Mars, live online. Join us from the comfort of your home or office. (No travel required!) A trial license of our entire software suite is included. A link of the recorded presentation for review is sent after each session. Additionally, Dr. Mars is available every class day for “office hours” to answer your questions.
Workshop meets online from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4) Monday, November 10 and Tuesday, November 11, 2026
Course Objectives

Course Outline
Day 1

Installation and overview
Infinite Life Analysis workflow with Endurica CL

Material behavior: nonlinear elasticity
Material behavior: crack precursors and fatigue threshold
Multiaxiality, critical plane analysis, and safety factor
Example: Grommet isolator

Safe Life Analysis workflow with Endurica CL

Specifying and verifying crack growth behavior
Specifying the load history
Plotting life contours and Identifying the critical plane
Using rainflow counting to identify worst case events
Examples: Bushing, Tire

Day 2

Self heating analysis with Endurica MP

Material behavior: specifying nonlinear viscoelasticity
Uncoupled, steady state thermal analysis
Example: planar tension specimen under sinusoidal loading

Block Cycle Analysis with Endurica DT

Specifying a schedule with multiple load cases
Examples: Bushing, Tire

Accelerating strain history calculations with Endurica EIE

Building a nonlinear map of the load space (1 and 2 channel maps)
Load history interpolation to generate full field strain history
Variable amplitude loading and rainflow counting
Example: extracting a block cycle schedule from road loads
