Conducting durability testing and structural analysis for heavy machinery presents significant challenges. Extreme temperatures, mud, dust, and high shock and vibration can cause data acquisition hardware to fail. Typical structural studies involve disconnected CAD, disconnected durability tools with excel sheets, and in-house tools, to name a few. These disconnected systems can lead to efficiencies, risk of translation errors and unproductive workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, realistic operating conditions and machine loads need to be acquired. With a new era of durability engineering, you can now leverage advanced simulation and testing solutions to deliver lighter, stronger and more durable heavy equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are several resources detailing how manufacturers can take advantage of finite element analysis (FEA) simulation software and durability testing for structural analysis and integrity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch this brief video that shows how heavy equipment manufacturers can use test and simulation to resolve issues early while lowering costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
