This webinar will provide an overview of some of the capabilities within fe-safe, looking at the more general functionality within the software and showing how this fits in your current simulation process, focusing on the ease of use of the platform.

The webinar will then continue on to discuss the capabilities of weld modelling using Verity and finish by focusing on the fundamental differences between stress and strain based fatigue.

In this blog post, we will be showcasing a fatigue assessment of a bicycle frame. This fatigue assessment will be against certain cyclic loading scenarios. Cyclic loading scenarios, typical for bicycle manufacturers, can include, pedaling forces, horizontal forces acting on the front fork and vertical load acting on the seat post.

In this post, we will be highlighting the main features of Simulia's fatigue prediction software, fe-safe. Fe safe performs both strain and stress based fatigue calculations, incorporating many different fatigue algorithms (uniaxial strain and stress based, biaxial strain and stress based, advanced thermomechanical fatigue, elastomer fatigue, fatigue of welds etc.). Last but not least, a fatigue calculation example will be shown. This concerns a notched plate under a cyclic fully reversing (tensile-compressive) load.
