Finite Element Method based Fatigue Analysis
FEMFAT performs fatigue analyses in combination with widely used finite element programs. Interfaces to multibody, optimization and measurement systems ensure full and convenient integration into the customers’ CAE processes. FEMFAT software provides engineers with reliable information on the fatigue life of structures to improve critical locations and/or reduce the total weight at an early stage of the design process, long before time-consuming and expensive tests are scheduled. This results in high quality prototypes and less testing effort.
FEMFAT is a software product of Magna Powertrain. DESIGNTEC is a partner of Magna Powertrain and promotes FEMFAT in Czechia and Slovakia.
