En SOFAST Analysis© - Fatigue post treatment
A fatigue design software
The SOFAST @nalysis© software enables quick and easy fatigue design studies of mechanical components.
The calculation methods implemented in the software were chosen according to performance and usability criteria
Simple user interface
Intuitive use
Importation in native formats
Effective importation of the result files from the main FE codes
Light prerequisites
Fatigue analysis even with a low number of data
Powerful analysis
Powerful, robust and reliable calculations for rapid fatigue diagnosis
Exportation in native formats
Effective exportations of the fatigue result in native formats of the main FE codes
Command line
Ability to run calculations in batch
Original calculation techniques
Based on the usual fatigue analysis methods (Haigh, Dang Van, Goodman-Wöhler, Manson-Coffin), SOFAST @nalysis© implements original calculation techniques. An example of these techniques is the calculation of the pseudo-tensor constraint based on the detection of the greatest principal stress. Another, is the use of temperature in the calculation of mechanical damage.
The best computation time
while maintaining good accuracy
in the case of multidirectional constraint states
