nCode products are provided by HBM, a world-wide technology and market leader, offering products and services across the entire measurement spectrum, from virtual to physical. Its technologies aid customers understand product performance, accelerate product development and improve design. The company’s Product Lifecycle Performance portfolio comprises tools which enable data acquisition in the harshest environments, analysis of the most complex test data sets, and optimization of product durability. The power and ease of use of HBM technologies is a direct result of its world-class development process, expertise and in-depth experience of a broad range of industries. nCode product development is ISO9001 certified.

nCode DesignLife™ software delivers fatigue life predictions from finite element results, allowing engineers to answer the question "how long will it last?", helping to avoid iterative physical testing and speeding up the development process.

nCode DesignLife combines advanced CAE analysis and signal processing tools within a simple-to-use graphical workflow environment. In addition to the general stress-life and strain-life approaches, DesignLife provides established methods for both spot and seam weld analysis and vibration shaker tests can be directly simulated in the frequency domain. DesignLife efficiently analyzes large finite element models and complete usage schedules. It is highly configurable for the expert user including support for Python scripting to enable new or proprietary fatigue methods.
