REQUEST fe-safe TRAINING FOR YOUR TEAM

This course is designed for simulation analysts, fatigue analysts, durability engineers, and engineering teams who want to perform fatigue life calculations using fe-safe and FEA-based simulation results.

fe-safe is used to perform fatigue and durability analysis based on FEA results. It helps engineers estimate fatigue life, evaluate target life, compare fatigue algorithms, and improve product durability under cyclic loading conditions.

The course covers FEA result import, fatigue loading definitions, material selection, finite life algorithms, infinite life algorithms, factor of strength calculations, diagnostic techniques, multiple block loading, and fatigue result interpretation.

No previous fe-safe experience is required. The course starts with the fundamentals of fe-safe and introduces the workflows needed to set up and review fatigue analyses.

Formal FEA experience is not required, but familiarity with FEA results and simulation workflows is helpful. The course is especially useful for users who want to extend their existing FEA work into fatigue and durability analysis.

Yes. ENA2 can customize fe-safe training based on your team’s software environment, durability goals, material data, loading conditions, reporting needs, and project-specific fatigue analysis workflows.
