The vast majority of engineering failures are fatigue failures of parts subjected to low-level cyclic loads. For instance, predicting crack initiation in parts is crucial to avoid dramatic failures.
FE-SAFE is the leader in fatigue analysis software for Finite Element models. In fact, it offers its users the most accurate and advanced fatigue analysis technology for real-world industrial applications.
Moreover, it is used by leading companies in automotive, heavy trucks, off-highway, marines, defense, offshore, power generation, wind energy, medical engineering, and many other industries.
FE-SAFE聽has been developed continuously since the early 1990鈥檚 in collaboration with industry to ensure that it continues to set the benchmark for . It was the first commercially available fatigue analysis software to focus on modern multiaxial strain-based fatigue methods.
Likewise, FE-SAFE is renowned for its accuracy, speed, comprehensive capabilities, and ease of use.
