### Assess Durability with Industry Leading Technology

Durability and Mechanics Engineer is a powerful simulation role that helps engineers understand the structural integrity and durability of products at every phase of the lifecycle. The solution features proven AbaqusÂ® technology for nonlinear FEA, and fe-safeÂ® simulation technology for strain based fatigue. All on the **3D**EXPERIENCEÂ® platform providing collaboration and data management capabilities.

### Scalable and Flexible

Run simulations on your local computer or on the cloud. With HPC on the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform you can run more time-consuming simulations. AbaqusÂ® and fe-safe solvers allow you to perform more complex simulations.

### Seamless Workflow

Access Durability and Mechanics Engineer directly from SOLIDWORKSÂ® to work on your model. When your CAD model changes in SOLIDWORKS, you can update the simulation model in just a few clicks.

### Test Stress and Strain with Accuracy

With all your data on the cloud you can easily track data, enable traceable revisions and easily collaborate and share data with stakeholders through a web browser, and make decisions faster.

### Test Stress and Strain with Accuracy

Abaqus technology ensures accuracy for complex nonlinear analysis so you can test structural response on large assemblies and count on the results. Structural analysis includes:

- Implicit and explicit methods for drop tests, impact simulations and durability conditions
- Nonlinear analysis combining contact with friction, large displacement and complex materials
- General contact for simple setup of complex contact conditions involving multiple bodies
- Product performance assessment including static, frequency, thermal, buckling, implicit/explicit dynamics and linear dynamics

### Durability analysis to predict fatigue life

Predict fatigue life for components and assemblies

- Strain life fatigue to accurately predict high and low cycle life
- Multiple load events can be used to replicate entire test schedules, including inter-event transitions and manufacturing effects
- A database of fatigue materials with high-quality stress and strain-based data for over 350 common materials
- Ability to use test data to define, calibrate and use a wide range of material models suitable for simulations

### Stay Productive with Easy-to-Use Interface

Durability and Mechanics Engineer and the platform are equipped with tools to help you get started fast and stay efficient. Highlights include:

- Guided set up and simulation workflows with the User Assistant for fast adoption and reduced learning curve
- Automate trade-off studies with the parametric design study capability
- Unified, integrated, and secure cloud environment including data management, revisioning, and collaboration
- Seamless collaboration workflow with the platform so simulation results become insights for valuable decisions
