The world is witnessing a significant shift towards renewable energy and sustainable technology. As a result, the demand for reliable and long-lasting energy storage solutions, such as batteries, is on the rise. One crucial aspect that determines the performance and durability of a battery is its fatigue life. The fatigue life of a battery refers to the number of charge and discharge cycles it can endure before its capacity significantly degrades. To ensure the efficiency and longevity of batteries, manufacturers conduct fatigue life tests, which are instrumental in determining their real-world performance. In this article, we will explore the process of conducting a fatigue life test on batteries and its significance in various applications.

Strength and fatigue analysis made easier in simulations. Templates for fatigue analysis and their strength-only counterparts are relatively recent additions to Simcenter 3D. As a result, many engineers are unaware of them or the benefits that they can bring.

The strength analysis case provides static and fatigue strength analysis for any finite element set-ups created in Simcenter 3D. It is fully integrated into finite element workflows and fatigue workflows. You can use material data from a material database (inherited from finite element analysis) or directly in the analysis case.
