Can ANSYS nCode DesignLife be used to evaluate brazed joints?

      Maybe. DesignLife does not have a specific brazed joint analysis technique. However, the brazing process typically produces a smooth exterior surface, with minor initial surface cracks and few or no heat affected zones. Thus, the standard stress-life approach is usually applicable if sufficient test data is available to construct the appropriate S-N curves.
