Fatigue Analysis Software
Fatigue Analysis Software
(OP)
I have a customer who is requesting cyclic calculations on a few vessels for them. What is the best software to run a fatigue analysis on a pressure vessel? I use SolidWorks for my CAD and Codeware Compress for my ASME calculations. Is the module within SolidWorks Simulation suitable? I have heard about NozzlePRO, but did not know if that did cyclic calculations.
Thanks!

RE: Fatigue Analysis Software
(it's actually Nozzle Pro), you can input the loads and select
fatigue analysis in the appropriate load case.

FYI - all shell-element based FEAs will likely give you the wrong answer for fatigue (at least not without massive experienced-based judgements on SIFs).

Your response is spot on!!!!
