ANSYS Mechanical pre-processing tool to create a non-linear stiffness boundary condition with friction on the structure. Layered soil stiffness data from csv text file can be applied and resulting pressure and friction can be plotted.

Post processing tool based on IIW recommendations to evaluate fatigue according to Nominal, Hot-Spot, Effective Notch and Linearized stress method. Load cases from single step, load case combination or load case scanning. Mean stress correction according to Goodman, Soderberg and Gerber. Cumulative damage from several load cases. S-N curves from IIW, DNV GL RP-C203, and Eurocode 3.

Pre and Post processing tool to create weld contacts, imprints, build solid fillet welds and evaluate weld strength according to Eurocode 3 or user defined codes for fillet and butt welds. All types of FE-models can be used; shell/solid, contact/multi-body, with or without weld geometry.
