The Adams/Durability plug-in can compute the strains and stresses by combining the modal coordinates' time-histories and the modal stress shapes. Third-party durability codes can perform the same computation too.

Hello everybody.
Can anybody please give some information about procedures to implement the Hot Spot method within a FEM model? For instance, what is the correct way (rigid regions, shells, solids) to model the welds? Which is the equivalent stress to be used (principal, Von Mises)? What are the...
Hello everybody.
Can anybody please give me some details about the stress gradient method developed by Papadopoulos? It deals with the effect of stress gradients on the fatigue life of a mechanical component.
Thank you very much.
