Without performing proofs of component strength, it is hardly possible to place machinery and equipment safely and reliably on the market. Moreover, legislators, testing organisations and customers increasingly require proof demonstrating that products comply with applicable standards and directives. Performing such proofs of strength manually by applying classical methods such as calculators or Excel spreadsheets is often very time-consuming and prone to error.
Using MDESIGN technology, you can realise proofs of static strength and proofs of fatigue strength for metallic components in a few short minutes, reliably interpret the results and document the calculation process in accordance with the test requirements.

The tried and tested MDESIGN user interface helps you to define all relevant framework conditions of your use case. Thanks to the intuitive text and graphics aids, general information on the method (locally for welded or non-welded components), the type of stress (structural vs. notch stress) and the material is quickly determined. Furthermore, the external loads and descriptions of the component are reliably defined thanks to the help system. These include:
