Endurica CL™ is our original solver for elastomer fatigue analysis. Give CL a finite element simulation of your loading history, specify your material(s), then CL computes the fatigue life of your rubber part.
Benefits
- Calculate fatigue life and failure location on your part
- Diagnose and resolve material, geometry, and loading issues to get durability right
- Mobilize quickly with ready-to-use workflows that give you the edge
- Scope analyses to fit your aim and budget with support for both “draft quality” and “high accuracy” simulations
Features
- CL offers the right material models for capturing your elastomer’s behavior.
- Nonlinear hyperelastic stress-strain behavior, Mullins effect, and cyclic softening
- Rate laws for both cycle- and time-dependent crack growth, including threshold effects and ozone attack
- R-ratio effects for both strain crystallizing and amorphous materials
- Temperature and ageing dependence of material properties
- Viscoelastic dissipation
- CL offers accurate accounting of damage accrual under multiaxial, variable amplitude loading history.
- Crack precursor growth tracking based on Fracture Mechanics
- Critical Plane Analysis checks every potential crack orientation and location to find the true worst case
- Rainflow Counting on history of the critical plane
- Reports fatigue life as repeats of the given history
- CL includes pre/post interfaces for compatible finite element codes: Abaqus, Ansys, MSC/Marc
- CL includes special features for tire simulation: support for steady-state rolling and periodic results transfer
- The included Endurica Viewer provides interactive visualizations of key analysis results (see video below)
- Plots material behavior including stress-strain, crack growth, Haigh diagram, and more
- Damage sphere and critical plane visualization
- History of loading on critical plane Crack open/close state
- Identification and ranking of loading events
Technical Notes
- Compatible FEA solvers: Abaqus, Ansys, Hexagon Marc
- OS: Windows or Linux
- Licensing: node-locked and network shared, lease, and perpetual
- Multi-Threading: two (2) threads are included with a network license
Additional threads are available to further speed job execution
The Endurica Viewer
See how the Endurica viewer fits into the durability analysis workflow for a tire, including viewing verification results for the specified materials, calibrating crack precursor size, and visualizing critical plane history (with the crack open/close state) and orientation.
