Xpedition vibration and acceleration simulation for printed circuit board systems reliability and failure prediction augments mechanical analysis and physical testing by introducing virtual accelerated lifecycle testing earlier in the design process.

Targets products where harsh environments can compromise product performance and reliability, including military, aerospace, automotive and industrial markets. Reportedly provides vibration simulation faster than any existing method. Xpedition component modeling library comprise more than 4,000 3D solid models. Can assemble parts models and automatically mesh them for performance analysis, including stiffeners and mechanical parts. System modeling tool can model more than 1,000 components per min. Features include simulation during design process to determine PCB reliability and reduce field failure rates; detection of components on threshold of failure that would be missed during physical testing; analysis of pin-level Von-Mises stress and deformation to determine failure probability and safety factors, and automation of simulation setup.
