Sheffield, UK , February 9, 2012 —Safe Technology, the world leader in fatigue analysis software for finite element models, today announced the availability of an fe-safe component for Isight to accelerate the optimization of product designs for durability and reliability. 

fe-safe from Safe Technology is used to accurately calculate from FEA, 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).

Isight from SIMULIA, the Dassault Systèmes brand for realistic simulation, provides designers, engineers and researchers with an open system for integrating design and simulation models—created with various CAD, CAE and other software applications—to automate the execution of hundreds or thousands of simulations. Isight allows users to save time and improve their products by optimizing them against performance or cost metrics through statistical methods such as Design of Experiments (DOE) or Design for Six Sigma. 

“The new fe-safe Component for Isight operates on Abaqus FEA models and results files  and provides our customers with the opportunity to streamline their fatigue analysis whilst also incorporating it with the upstream or downstream use of other applications through an automated simulation workflow,” said Ian Mercer, Software Director, Safe Technology Ltd. “This will help our customers accelerate the optimization of their products for durability and reliability, which provides the opportunity to reduce both development and warranty costs.

“I’m pleased to count Safe Technology among the growing list of our partners delivering Isight components as part of the Component Integration Program,” stated Tom Battisti, Senior Alliances and Partnerships Director, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes.
