Safe Technology will release fe-safe V4.13 in September 2002 This latest version of the suite of fatigue analysis software will incorporate extended capabilities as well as new optional modules and state-of-the-art features

fe-safe V4.13 has been developed with further emphasis on ease of use and practical assistance for the nonspecialist engineer.

A new feature is the fe-safe wizard, an alternative user interface that may be selected to provide a step-by-step guide through the software.

The wizard will automatically select the most appropriate analysis method based on the selected material and will estimate material properties if test data is not available.

A new optional module for the more specialist user is fe-rotate.

Fatigue analysis of cyclically symmetrical parts from a single FEA result can be obtained quickly and easily using fe-rotate by taking advantage of their axial symmetry, ideal for the quick analysis of components such as wheels, bearings and clutches.

High temperature, time-dependent fatigue phenomena can now be modelled in fe-safe using the new creep fatigue module, fe-creep.

This incorporates a number of effects including stress relaxation, strain ageing, cycle strain rate and variation in damage due to out of phase stress and temperature cycles.

fe-creep is ideal for the analysis of components in a sustained high temperature environment and complements the unique high-temperature fatigue analysis capability already developed in fe-safe.

The new version of fe-safe will also incorporate Safe Technology's powerful signal processing software, safe4fatigue, as a no-cost addition.

The safe4fatigue functionality includes graphics display, signal preparation, digital filters, amplitude and frequency domain analysis and fatigue analysis from strain gauges and other measured load data.
