Environmental Stress & Reliability Simulation for Harsh Industrial Environments

An industrial automation manufacturer needed to ensure their equipment could withstand extreme heat, vibration, and humidity. Using Ansys Sherlock Reliability Modeling, Relteck simulated real-world stress conditions, including thermal cycling, vibration, and moisture exposure. We predicted failure zones, recommended design improvements, and validated long term durability. As a result, the client identified key risks early, extended product lifespan by 2.5x, and reduced costly changes after deployment.

Objective:

Model product performance in extreme operating conditions (heat, vibration, humidity) using Ansys Reliability Sherlock Modeling AnanlysisSsimulation software.

The Challenge:

The client was launching equipment for use in high-vibration and high-temperature environments but had no validated stress models to predict long-term durability.

Relteck’s Solution:

  • Built environmental stress profiles based oncustomer use-case condition using shelock analysis simulations
  • Modeled thermal cycling, vibration exposure, and humidity impact
  • Predicted life time and failure zones under stress
  • Suggested design reinforcements, improvement, changes and component substitutions

Results:

  • Identified 3 key failure risks before production
  • Improved product lifespan expectations by 2.5x
  • Increased confidence in the field deployment of units
  • Reduced the need for post-deployment modifications
