ADACS INC

ADACS, Inc.  (Advanced Durability Assessment and Consulting Services) develops and markets advanced fatigue software tools (TFAT) and methodologies for the endurance assessment of engineering components, systems, and structures. An emphasis is placed on research and development in the area of Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue (TMF). In addition, the company provides on-site and off-site consulting and development services to design and manufacturing customers.

Services include the set up and management of material testing programs, material parameter determination for both constitutive and damage models, development and implementation of advanced constitutive models, step-by-step CAE analysis procedures including pre-processing, model setup, analysis steps, post-processing, and reporting of results. ADACS, Inc provides training and software tools to customers to enable them to perform the above tasks.

TFAT (Thermomechanical Fatigue Analysis Tools) is a commercial software for the computation of thermomechanical fatigue lives of components experiencing thermal and mechanical loading conditions. TFAT reads the results of nonlinear transient FEA analysis directly out of the Abaqus .odb database.  It can import standard output variables as well as Solution Dependent Variables (SDV’s) from UMAT.  TFAT also allows for quick and efficient shapre optimization of components through simple integration with Tosca.
