Fatigue analysis aids mathematical simulation
Safe Technology's newly released fe-safe LE suite of fatigue analysis software for finite element models is to be incorporated into the mathematical simulation software AVL Excite.
The new agreement provides HKS customers with immediate access to new fe-safe features as they are released and offers interfaces to other finite element analysis and data acquisition software.
HKS will continue to provide front-line support to fe-safe customers on Abaqus-related issues, while Safe Technology will provide specialized pre- and post-sales support.
"This is a natural step forward in our relationship with Safe Technology", commented Ken Short, vice president of marketing for HKS.
"Abaqus customers will benefit from the latest fatigue prediction capabilities in fe-safe along with an enhanced level of product and application support".
"Safe Technology and HKS provide the most technically advanced durability analysis software solution commercially available, offering a number of unique capabilities in the field of fatigue analysis", said Safe Technology managing director, Prof John Draper.
"We also believe that an open interface policy is a direct customer benefit which ensures that our customers can leverage multiple solution applications from the single user interface of fe-safe".
HKS will offer fe-safe version 5.0 beginning in October 2002, to coincide with the release of Abaqus 6.3.
The new version of fe-safe incorporates such specialist features as fe-rotate and fe-creep, and an fe-safe fatigue wizard for new or occasional users.
The software also offers up to a 15x increase in analysis speed.
