Focus
on Fatigue |
MoreVision has developed a number of programs to post-process finite element
results, calculate fatigue damage and to plot damage directly onto the FE
mesh. The assessments cover code of practices used in many countries (UK -
BS7608, France -UIC 515-4 Goodman Diagram, German DIN 15 018, Swedish Volvo
standards) |

  ANSYSŪ
- Finite Element Software |
|
 MoreVision uses
ANSYSŪ finite element software. Over a twenty year period it has
proved to be both dependable and flexible and has managed to solve
every problem we have thrown at it. MoreVision continue to enhance their capabilities by
developing libraries of calculation software and ANSYSŪ macros, all of
which are available to new clients. |

Fatigue
Design Software |
|
 One
of the most common problems we are asked to consider is the fatigue
assessment of welded structures. Unfortunately depending on which
industry or which country our client comes from we have to follow different
analysis methods (UK - BS7608, France -UIC 515-4 Goodman Diagram, German DIN 15
018, Swedish Volvo standards). Luckily it is often a simple exercise to
modify existing software to accommodate new analysis methods. All
the software post-processes finite element results
and produces damage plots which can be viewed on the FE mesh directly. Weld classifications can also be viewed directly on
the finite element mesh which makes the review
process much simpler. In addition detailed information regarding any
node can be exported to a spreadsheet for detailed interrogation.
Almost every page of this web site will feature a project which has
benefited from our fatigue processing software. |

Fracture
Mechanics Software |
|
 Fracture
mechanics calculations arise quite frequently, particularly during a
failure investigation. MoreVision have a suite of purpose written
software for fracture mechanics calculations.

Parametric
Design of Railway Bodyshells |
|
 A
generic rail vehicle may be sold to a number of different clients.
Each client have their own particular preference for seating layout.
This means that the positions and sizes of doors and windows change
between each order. MoreVision have parameterised this problem so
that once window and door sizes have been defined a program which automatically generates a finite element model. In this way any
problems regarding resonance, strength of fatigue strength of the
bodyshell can be understood during the project definition and
tendering stage. The program even produces a bill of materials for
tendering purposes. |

Partnering
Client Design Teams |
 Will it fall off? Is it strong
enough? How long will it last? These are the questions on the minds of many
designers. MoreVision can team up to perform simple strength assessments to
allow designers to move forward with the confidence that their designs will
ultimately satisfy structural criteria. |

Failure
Investigations |
|
Simply strengthening an area
may not give you the results you want and could make the problem worse.
Before a solution can even be considered it is imperative that the mechanics
of the failure are completely understood. |
