**********************************************************************************************
Exemplar sell and support fe-safe™, the advanced suite of software for fatigue analysis from FEA. “The high-end fatigue analysis capabilities of fe-safe™ fit well with Exemplar’s total engineering solution portfolio,” said Exemplar President, Fabrizio Trentini. “We are committed to adopting innovative software solutions that enable designers to achieve success in highly competitive markets, and one way of achieving this is by partnering with the world’s leading engineering software development organizations like Safe Technology.”

Overview: This seminar covers the problems that can now be solved using durability analysis software for FEA models. A technology update in key areas of fatigue analysis is provided:

* Multiaxial fatigue, effects of temperature, notch sensitivity and residual stresses
* Why traditional methods of metal fatigue analysis get it wrong
* An introduction to modern methods of metal fatigue analysis and why they get it right
* An introduction to Verity® method for fatigue of welded joints
* An introduction to using fe-safe™ with FEA software
* A demo of fe-safe™ 

fe-safe™ is a technically advanced fatigue analysis software for FEA models. fe-safe™ incorporates the most sophisticated fatigue analysis technology available in commercial software. As a result, fe-safe™ is changing the way design engineers perceive fatigue analysis software tools. John Draper will provide a technology update on modern methods of metal fatigue and a demonstration of fe-safe™.

Who should attend: Design and Test Engineers responsible for product durability in the ground vehicle, aerospace and manufacturing industries interested in durability analysis and fatigue of welded structures. No previous knowledge of fatigue is necessary.
