Overview of
fe-safe
Industry is putting increasing pressure on manufacturers to use less material to deliver lightweight but stronger components, lower warranty and recall costs and all in less time. Many companies use advanced finite element analysis to calculate design stresses, but the fatigue analysis is often still done by manually picking stress points for spreadsheet analysis. This is time-consuming and unreliable because it is easy to miss failure locations.
fe-safe was the first commercially available fatigue analysis software to focus on modern multiaxial strain-based fatigue methods and it continues to set the benchmark for fatigue analysis software.

fe-safe FAQs
What is fe-safe?
fe-safe is a SIMULIA fatigue and durability analysis software solution used to predict the fatigue life of components from finite element analysis results. It helps engineers identify fatigue-critical locations, estimate life under cyclic loading, and evaluate design changes before physical durability testing.
What is fatigue analysis?
Fatigue analysis predicts how repeated or cyclic loading can cause damage and eventual failure over time, even when individual loads are below the material’s static strength. Engineers use fatigue analysis to estimate component life, identify critical regions, and improve durability before production.
Can fe-safe work with Abaqus?
Yes. fe-safe integrates closely with Abaqus and can use stress and strain results from Abaqus analyses as the basis for fatigue-life calculations. This allows engineers to perform structural simulation in Abaqus and then evaluate fatigue and durability using the same underlying analysis results.
What types of fatigue analysis can fe-safe perform?
fe-safe supports a wide range of fatigue analysis methods for complex durability problems. It can perform multiaxial fatigue analysis for components subjected to combined stress and strain states, evaluate weld fatigue using the Verity module, predict fatigue life in rubber and elastomer components with fe-safe/Rubber, and assess vibration fatigue and variable-amplitude loading using realistic operating histories.
