Overview
What is fe-safe?
Durability Analysis Software for Finite Element Models
The fe-safe suite is a cutting-edge technological software suite for durability analysis. From FEA, its capabilities have been enhanced to satisfy the most demanding industry applications, directly linking to all major FEA suites (Abaqus, ANSYS, Nastran (MSC, NEi, NX), Pro/Mechanica).
The market is more demanding than ever for manufacturers to use less material to deliver lightweight but robust components while lowering warranty and recall costs.
fe-safe was the first commercially available fatigue analysis program to focus on modern multiaxial strain-based fatigue methodologies, and it continues to be the industry standard.

Overview
What is fe-safe/Rubber?
fe-safe/Rubber is the first commercially available software tool for rubber and elastomer fatigue analysis.
Because of their macromolecular structure, elastomers exhibit unique behavior and require specialized analysis methods, fe-safe/Rubber investigates elastomer fatigue performance under real-world service conditions.
Overview
What is the Verity Module in fe-safe?
Verity in fe-safe integrates Verity for welded structure fatigue with the advanced capabilities of fe-safe for finite element model fatigue analysis.
This enables businesses to decrease or eliminate the cost of testing to validate the integrity of designs, as well as avoid the frequent practice of over-engineering due to the uncertainty of fatigue life.
Overview
What is fe-safe/TURBOlife?
fe-safe/TURBOlife is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive creep-fatigue analysis software suite.
fe-safe/TURBOlife creep-fatigue algorithms have been effectively applied to nuclear power plant components, power station boilers, gas turbine blades, and steam turbine components.
fe-safe/TURBOlife is rapidly being implemented in the powertrain industry, where creep and creep fatigue interaction are common in automotive exhaust components and turbocharger impellers.
