To ensure a save design of components, durability analyses are intended. For this, simulation results from FE analyses are necessary. Therefore, it is desirable to use elements with quadratic function, because of a good stress approximation.The goal of the described investigation is to show if calculation results created by LS-DYNA [1] can be used for durability analyses. Especially the use of quadratic elements is investigated. For the evaluation, on the one hand explicit FE analyses of a special durability test are carried out. These analyses are validated by available test data. To create results for later durability analyses further FE analyses with implicit time discretisation are carried out. In this paper results of the investigations are presented and evaluated critically.
