HxGN CAEfatigue
Fast and Reliable Fatigue Analysis
CAEfatigue is the industry’s leading solution for predicting fatigue and durability. It works with both time-based and frequency-based data to tell you how long a product will last under real-world conditions. It’s built for speed, handles large models with ease, and is simple to use – whether you’re a beginner or an expert.
Available in four packages: Premium, Frequency, Random, and Time.
Key Features:
- Running Sum Technology: Accelerates analysis by orders of magnitude over first-generation tools.
- Multi Input Loading: Handles multiple correlated or uncorrelated loads for realistic simulations.
- Easy Adoption: Simple GUI or command prompt for quick user integration.
- Multiple Output Options: Delivers response stresses, damage, and fatigue life results.
- Remote Installation: Simplifies enterprise deployment for large organizations.
- Very Large Models: Processes massive models via Running Sum Technology.
- Sine Sweep (SINESW): Now supports mixed loading units.
- SN/EN Material Property: Accepts multiple material data formats.
- Equivalent Stress Correction: Includes Critical Plane for precise stress adjustments.
- Mean Stress Correction: Applies corrections directly in analysis.
- Plasticity Index: Outputs non-linear response statistics.
- Damage Sensitivity: Optimizes designs/materials to reduce costs and weight.
- Frequency of Response: Shows fringe plots of peak frequency values.
- Random Response: Provides displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force outputs.
- Event Repeats: Specifies loading event repetitions for damage calculations.
- Response Notch: Enables partial transfer function scaling for “what if” scenarios.
- Hotspot/Filter: Quickly filters analysis to dramatically cut processing time.
- Collision Detection: Compares displacements to check if design gaps close under loading.
- Spot/Seam/User Welds: Supports spot weld, 2D/3D seam weld, BS7608 in time domain; industry-first frequency domain analysis for spot/seam (2D) and user welds.
- Factor of Safety: Compares fatigue life against target results.
- Multi Axial Assessment: Evaluates stress states to select optimal equivalent stress methods.
- Pseudo Damage: Compares time histories for damage equivalence without FEA/stress data.
- Rainflow Cycle Counting: Generates cycle plots for time and frequency analyses.
- Digital Signal Processing: Formula-based time signal modification and export.
- Robust Design: Re-runs analyses to test parameter robustness.
