ArcelorMittal Selects ICE-flow Software to Conduct Study
nCode announced that it has been selected to partner with ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel company, on the European Commission, Research Fund for Coal and Steel Project (RFCS "SpeedFat" Project). This research program focuses on technologies to guarantee the continued economic, clean and safe production of steel and steel products. ArcelorMittal and its key partners are collaborating to improve signal analysis methods in order to accelerate fatigue tests, and use computer based fatigue analysis methods.
Sheffield, England (Issues Wire / PRWEB) February 15, 2008 -- nCode International, a leading developer of data analysis software, data acquisition systems and durability solutions, today announced that it has been selected to partner with ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel company, on the European Commission, Research Fund for Coal and Steel Project (RFCS "SpeedFat" Project). This research program focuses on technologies to guarantee the continued economic, clean and safe production of steel and steel products. ArcelorMittal and its key partners are collaborating to improve signal analysis methods in order to accelerate fatigue tests, and use computer based fatigue analysis methods.
The primary objective for ArcelorMittal in this project was to develop methods for determining how test signals can be reduced in size for use on test rigs or in computer based fatigue analysis methods, but remain representative of actual damage. Analysis methodologies are being developed for metal sheets (stress life or strain life approach) and welds (spot welds and seam welds). To conduct this portion of the study ArcelorMittal selected nCode's ICE-flow test and simulation analysis software suite, GlyphWorks and DesignLife.
ICE-flow GlyphWorks data analysis software provides a graphical, process-oriented environment that enables engineers to rapidly extract useful information from vast amounts of measured data. Complete multi-step analysis processes can be easily created. GlyphWorks is widely used for applications such as data processing for durability and fatigue life prediction, noise and vibration analysis and accelerated testing.
ICE-flow DesignLife is the latest technology from nCode for finite element based fatigue and durability analysis - delivering virtual fatigue analysis. Fully integrated with GlyphWorks, DesignLife provides a unique environment for integrating both test and CAE data. It delivers a broad range of fatigue technologies and applications including stress-life, strain-life, multi-axial, spot weld and seam weld analysis as well as vibration shaker test simulation.
"ArcelorMittal has worked with nCode for many years due to its expertise in durability, strong product offering, and its ability to provide us with local support," said Mr. Bastien Weber, Research Engineer - ArcelorMittal Research Automotive Products in Maizières-Lès-Metz. "nCode's ICE-flow software suite provides us with the ability of being able to easily build and very quickly analyze processes in a powerful environment. A major benefit is that once the analysis process is defined, it can be re-used indefinitely by varying input parameters, and can be shared with other users - saving us both time and money", he further added.
