For over a decade, LMS has been delivering advanced durability simulation and test solutions to the majority of automotive OEMs, their suppliers and an extensive list of ground vehicle manufacturing companies.
Whether the focus is on suspension knuckles, control arms and auxiliaries, or on brake calipers or steering system parts, LMS Virtual.Lab Durability accurately traces the fatigue performance of each involved chassis component. Its effective and robust processes are easily controllable, yield powerful seam weld capabilities and provide access to all simulation parameters.
It is quite striking how fast LMS Virtual.Lab Durability executes fatigue-life assessments on body frames, panels, cross-members and door systems as well as on sunroofs, latches and locking systems. LMS Virtual.Lab Durability also guarantees a high degree of accuracy for specific spot welds analyses.
Advanced numerical durability predictions can be applied to specific engine and powertrain parts. Engine brackets, gear box chain heels and exhaust lines are typical examples of components that can be effectively optimized with LMS Virtual.Lab Durability.
