Manufacturers in need of a solution to assess material response within their designed structures
About fe-safe
Material usage optimization has become the cornerstone of the transformation that the industry is currently experiencing. Manufacturers relentlessly pursue lightweight and robust components to deliver cost-efficient production with lower warranties, minimal recall costs, and accelerated timelines. Advanced finite element analysis is a staple in design stress calculations. Many companies still rely on manual stress point selection for spreadsheet analysis to conduct fatigue analysis. This approach is time-consuming and unreliable because it increases the risk of overlooking critical failure locations. fe-safe is the technical leader in fatigue analysis software for finite element models. fe-safe has set the benchmark for fatigue analysis software since the early 1990s in close collaboration with the industry. The fe-safe software suite is a world-leading technology for durability analysis from FEA. It directly interfaces with all major FEA suites.

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.
