fe-safe™ 6 features applications capabilities success stories papers
With fe-safe™ 6, Safe Technology continues to lead the field in fatigue and durability analysis solutions for Finite Element models, with new critical distance methods and hot spot methods, a new module for layered composite materials – fe safe/Composites™, and Components for ANSYS Workbench and Isight. This version of fe safe™ also represents the culmination of a programme of code re engineering aimed at increasing performance and productivity with support for parallel processing and distributed processing, a new user interface, and a framework for incorporating customised plugin analysis modules.
What’s new in fe-safe™ 6.0:
Performance:
Usability:
Analysis:
and lots more...

Unsurpassed performance...We’re dedicated to going bigger and faster, without compromising accuracy. Accelerate your fatigue analysis with faster interfaces and improved solution times. Benefit from threading to multi-core processors – support for up to 8 cores per processor is included in a standard licence at no additional cost. Distributed processing is also available for running fe safe on HPC and ad hoc clusters. Dataset support has been expanded to handle very long loading sequences. Working files have been re engineered to handle huge FE models and optimised for high performance and reduced solution times. |

Improved productivity...Project-based files and settings and a new GUI - redesigned for your ease of use. fe safe 6.0 has a fresh new GUI, with many dialogues redesigned to improve clarity, consistency and ease of use. The FE model tree has been refined for a clearer display of model data. Project-based files and settings and auto-saved job settings makes working on multiple projects straightforward. A new ‘High Level Loading Definition File’ (HLDF), designed especially for very complex loads with huge numbers of datasets, or where the number of FE solutions is unknown, makes load definition a breeze, and saves time. |

Improved Usability...fe-safe™ Component for ANSYS Workbench The fe-safe™ component for ANSYS Workbench enables the integration of design durability in the ANSYS Workbench Project Environment and allows for fe-safe™ to either be inserted into an existing project schematic in Workbench or defined as a standalone system. Fatigue analyses can be conducted from within Workbench including features available in Workbench such as parameterisation and optimisation. |
|
fe-safe™ Component for Isight The fe-safe™ component for Isight enables the integration of design durability in the simulation process flow and allows for fe-safe™ to either be inserted into an existing simulation workflow or define its own, with subsequent analyses (parametric studies, DOE, optimizations etc.) being conducted from within Isight. |
|
Leading fatigue analysis methods...New analysis methods for faster and more accurate fatigue solutions! fe safe 6 introduces a re-engineered solver for threading analyses to multi-core processors. Hotspot analysis helps you investigate design features and critical areas quickly and in greater depth, while new Critical Distance methods allow stress gradients to be used to assess notch sensitivity. A new Custom Module Framework enables users to develop and implement custom plugin analysis modules leveraging fe safe’s powerful features and capabilities for in-house fatigue methods. |
