Safe Technology Announces New Component for ANSYS Workbench in fe-safe

January 24, 2012 Sheffield, UK: Safe Technology Limited announce the release of the fe-safe® Component for ANSYS® Workbench™, enabling the integration of accurate design durability analysis into the Workbench project environment.

fe-safe, from Safe Technology, is a powerful, comprehensive suite of fatigue analysis software for finite element models. It is used to accurately calculate fatigue from FEA, showing where and when fatigue cracks will occur, the factors of safety on working stresses (for rapid optimisation) and the probability of survival at different service lives (the ‘warranty claim’ curve). Workbench from ANSYS provides powerful methods for interacting with the ANSYS family of solvers. This environment provides a unique integration with CAD systems and the user’s design process. 

fe-safe has always interfaced directly with ANSYS finite element analysis software; the fe-safe Component for ANSYS Workbench is an added capability offered free of charge to fe-safe users and allows close integration and comprehensive data exchange between Workbench and fe safe.

The component allows for fe-safe either to be inserted into an existing project schematic in Workbench, or to be defined as a standalone system, with fatigue analyses being conducted from within Workbench.

“We are delighted to provide increased usability to fe-safe users by offering the capability to integrate their fatigue analyses more closely with the overall design process within the Workbench development framework” Ian Mercer, Software Director, Safe Technology Ltd

“Workbench includes tools for extensibility that facilitate the creation of tight-knit joint solutions by our partners and customers,” said Barbara Hutchings, Director of Strategic Partnerships. “The  fe-safe Component for ANSYS Workbench is a great example of how our software partners can harness this power and deliver an ever-broader portfolio of engineering simulation technologies for ANSYS customers.”
