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.
This is a major subrelease of fe-safev5, released by Safe Technology in January.
The new interface can be downloaded by Nastran users direct from the Safe Technology website.
Other new developments also now incorporated in fe-safev5.00-11 include: influence coefficients - evaluation of the individual contribution of a unit load on the strains or stresses in a particular direction; and gauge outputs - which enables the strains or stresses in a particular direction to be exported.
This is in addition to the extended capabilities and substantial increases in speed of analysis and ease of use already incorporated in fe-safev5.
These include: complex loading conditions and advanced multiaxial fatigue capabilities; fatigue analysis of cast iron; fatigue analysis of welded structures; high temperature and creep fatigue analysis; fe-rotate (quick analysis of axi-symmetric components); thermomechanical fatigue analysis; comprehensive signal processing capabilities (safe4fatigue); and default algorithms (automatic selection of the most appropriate method of fatigue analysis based on the selected material, ensuring ease of use for even the nonspecialist engineer).
