ICMD® Materials Design & Engineering Platform
QuesTek’s revolutionary SaaS platform allows clients to simplify and accelerate solutions to materials challenges, from processing to production, saving valuable time and resources.
The Fatigue Toolkit enables users to predict fatigue life as a function of material, microstructure and loading scenario. This enhanced feature of the ICMD® platform represents a significant leap forward in fatigue analysis, leveraging mechanistic, physics-based modeling to improve prediction accuracy and engineering efficiency.
This proven approach to modeling minimum fatigue life can be combined with limited testing using the Accelerated Insertion of Materials (AIM) methodology within ICMD® to save 70% in testing costs vs traditional full design of experiments approaches for qualification of fatigue critical materials.
