safe4fatigue |
fe-safe™ is an advanced easy-to-use suite of durability analysis software which interfaces
to finite element models.
fe-safe™ combines component loading, FEA stresses, and materials data, and performs
advanced multiaxial fatigue analysis. Fatigue hot-spots are automatically identified. 3-D
contour plots can be displayed for fatigue life and for allowable stress factors for a
specified design life.

 |
With fe-safe™ as an integrated part of your design process, you have the ability to optimise designs and test programs, reduce prototype test times product recalls and warranty costs - all with increased confidence that your product designs pass their test schedules as “right first time”. |
| fe-safe™.....MORE THAN JUST A FATIGUE ANALYSIS TOOL |
Many companies use advanced finite element analysis to calculate design stresses, but the fatigue analysis is often still done by manually picking stress points for spread-sheet analysis. This is time consuming and unreliable because it’s easy to miss failure locations. Component validation by fatigue testing a prototype design in the test lab is time-consuming. If the prototype fails prematurely, a costly, open-ended cycle of design-test-redesign is required. Project time-scales slip and delivery is late.
In the automotive industry some 40% of the total development cost is spent making prototype parts. In the medical industry an unexpected failure can mean the loss of several months lead-time over competitors.
fe-safe™ is a highly effective tool for fatigue analysis of Finite Element models.
fe-safe™
- calculates fatigue lives at every point on a model, producing contour plots to reveal fatigue lives and crack sites. Critical points need not be missed.
- determines how much the stresses must be changed in order to achieve a target design life showing clearly where the component is under strength, or where material and weight can be saved
- estimates warranty claim curves based on probabilities of failure
- calculates which parts of the service duty are most damaging and which could be omitted from a fatigue test
- identifies non-critical loads at significant points on a model. In prototype testing this could mean tests using fewer loads and therefore fewer actuators
