safe4Fatigue
Durability Analysis Software for Finite Element Models
Efficient Durability Analysis with safe4fatigue
safe4fatigue is an integrated system for managing durability analysis. It provides advanced multiaxial fatigue and durability analysis from measured or simulated strain signals, peak-valley files, cycle histograms and PSDs.
fe-safe includes safe4fatigue module at no added cost. It provides all the capabilities needed to analyze practical durability applications without the overhead of complex ‘management' systems. Its attractive, easy-to-use user interface provides fast access to complex analysis procedures. You can automate repetitive tasks using powerful macro-recording and batch processing.
Regardless of the complexity of your fatigue analysis, safe4fatigue fits smoothly into your design process, enabling you to develop durable products.
At a Glance
safe4fatigue is an integrated system for managing durability analysis. It is ideal for the user who wants to conduct durability analyses from measured or simulated strain signals without the overhead of a complex ‘management' system. Results are displayed in the form of:
- Cycle and damage histograms
- Cycle and damage density diagrams
- Stress-strain hysteresis loops or plots of fatigue damage to show the most damaging portions of a signal.
safe4fatigue incorporates a powerful signal processing package, including modules for amplitude analysis, frequency analysis and digital filtering. It includes multi-channel peak-valley with cycle omission, lots of signal manipulation functions, rainflow, level crossing, time-at-level and frequency domain analysis (PSD, transfer functions).
safe4fatigue interfaces to many common data acquisition systems and data structures.
- Analyze strain gauge data and service loading using an intuitive and user-friendly GUI.
- Improve correlation between test and analysis within a single user interface.
- Optimize durability test programs to be faster and more realistic.
- Enables fatigue from measured or simulated strain signals without the overhead of a complex ‘management' system.
