The challenge
Starting from the 3D geometry of the machine’s mechanism, a multibody dynamics model was developed to accurately reproduce the typical operating cycle under the loads applied by the athlete.
The most highly stressed components were then assessed through fatigue analysis using the structural loads obtained from the simulated operating cycle.
Our contribution
This simulation-driven approach made it possible to identify the most critical areas in terms of fatigue strength, both in the structural components and in the welded joints, before physical testing. Based on these findings, the critical parts were redesigned to improve durability.
As a result, the product approval process was significantly accelerated, while reducing both development time and prototyping costs.

Prevent structural failures caused by cyclic and dynamic loading through advanced fatigue simulations. We have the expertise and tools to accurately predict the fatigue life of products subjected to variable static loads and vibration-induced stresses.
Multibody Dynamics Analysis
Multibody dynamics (MBD) analysis enables the prediction of motion trajectories, velocities, and interaction forces within mechanical systems over time. By creating a digital twin of your product, we can evaluate its performance under real operating conditions before physical testing.
