Fatigue Essentials
Fatigue Essentials is a desktop application used to efficiently conduct structural fatigue analysis. Fatigue Essentials provides a user-friendly tool for conducting stress-life analysis either using classical stress calculations or linked with FEMAP™ and using the finite element generated stresses. The program is structured to guide the user through the analysis by following a tree structure. General analysis options are selected following loads, materials, and spectrum branches. Within each branch are options for analysis variations or input methods. Analysis results are available on-screen to paste into a report and/or as a damage contour plot in FEMAP. Covers most engineering requirements. Classic mode with user input stresses. Professional mode (FEMAP-linked) with the ability to read nodal stresses and push back results in a damage contour plot. Option for either interactive input or file input for stresses and cycles.

VPS-MICRO
VPS-MICRO predicts the life of manufactured parts by simulating the behavior of the materials they’re made from. VPS-MICRO is built on three inescapable truths. Durability is not a function of applied stress, alone, but rather a combination of that stress and the material’s reaction to it. The materials we use to build complex components and systems are not homogenous. Computer cycles are shorter and cheaper than physical testing cycles or prototyping. Using these ideas as a foundation, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® is a computational software that accurately accounts for a material’s reaction to the stress imparted upon it, its variability and all its various damage mechanisms, its geometry, and the conditions of its usage over time. The result is a 3D, time and condition-based product simulation that accurately and efficiently reflects the real world physics of how, when and why damage occurs.
