FEMFAT (Finite Element Method Fatigue) is the number one engineering software tool for fatigue life prediction. Import your stress analysis from any popular solver into FEMFAT and understand its fatigue life with ease.
Most simulation users employ FEA to predict breakage as defined by the stress-strain material curve. However, in reality, most part failure is due to fatigue damage accumulated over time, and this can be predicted.
FEMFAT is universally applicable software for fatigue analysis of statically and/or dynamically loaded components and assemblies. Based on stresses from FEA, FEMFAT delivers analysis results such as fatigue life or damage, as well as safety factors. This enables the identification of structural weak spots and lightweighting design opportunities at an early product development phase.

Engineering Your Advantage
Anyone can process a software sale. That is not what we do.
We know that the successful implementation of a CAE solution requires careful engineering all its own: What are the challenges that must be overcome? Which are the tools that meet or exceed the needs? How do we make the most of the resources available? What are the concrete steps we take to execute on this vision? One cannot answer these questions without first doing the work to understand both your business and the CAE industry — that is what Computer Aided Technology does.
Our team of advanced simulation engineers have worked for decades as consulting CAE engineers, we maintain deep and lasting relationships with software developers, and we have tackled dozens of unique client experiences. No one is more prepared to engineer your competitive advantage than CATI.
