To complement the FEA and CFD simulation software from ANSYS, Inc, SimuTech Group provides sales, support, training and consulting services for fe-safe™ by Safe Technology..

fe-safe is a highly effective tool for fatigue analysis of FEA models.

• Used by leading companies in automotive, heavy truck, off-highway, marine, defense, offshore, power generation, wind energy, medical engineering and many other industries.
• Developed continuously since the early 1990’s in collaboration with industry to ensure that it continues to set the benchmark for fatigue analysis software.
• Was the first commercially available fatigue analysis software to focus on modern multiaxial strain based fatigue methods.
• Provides unique capabilities for thermomechanical fatigue and creep-fatigue, the fatigue analysis of composite materials and the Verity® Structural Stress method for welded joints.
• Renowned for its accuracy, speed, comprehensive capabilities and ease of use.

Industry is putting increasing pressure on manufacturers to use less material to deliver lightweight but stronger components, fewer warranty and recall costs and all in less time. Traditional methods of over-engineering components, and expensive open-ended test-redesign-test programmes, are not meeting the needs of the modern engineering company.

For welded joints and welded structures, the prediction of failure locations and the calculation of fatigue lives are notoriously complex and difficult tasks that can often result in poor correlation with test data. The Verity® mesh-insensitive structural stress method (SSM) has been developed and patented by Battelle. It is recognized as a major breakthrough in the fatigue analysis of welded joints for Finite Element models.
