VPS-MICRO
VEXTEC Corporation
VPS-MICRO predicts the life of manufactured parts by simulating the behavior of the materials they’re made from. VPS-MICRO is built on three inescapable truths. Durability is not a function of applied stress, alone, but rather a combination of that stress and the material’s reaction to it. The materials we use to build complex components and systems are not homogenous. Computer cycles are shorter and cheaper than physical testing cycles or prototyping. Using these ideas as a foundation, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® is a computational software that accurately accounts for a material’s reaction to the stress imparted upon it, its variability and all its various damage mechanisms, its geometry, and the conditions of its usage over time. The result is a 3D, time and condition-based product simulation that accurately and efficiently reflects the real world physics of how, when and why damage occurs. -
