FEMFAT weld extension module: Fatigue life prediction of welded joints
Practical element division (shell elements) & evaluation method of SolidWELD
In the development of components that include welded structures, accurately predicting the fatigue life of weld joints has become essential. By utilizing FEMFAT weld, precise fatigue life predictions for weld joints can be achieved. FEMFAT weld offers various functions, including sensitivity analysis to identify critical welding shape parameters and evaluation options compliant with standards such as BS7608 and Eurocode 3. When calculating the fatigue life and safety factors of welded structures, the highly flexible analytical methods implemented in FEMFAT weld allow for simultaneous analysis of shell element models and solid element models. For the evaluation of weld root areas and weld termination points, detailed modeling of the fillet shape of the evaluation area can be performed, eliminating the need for extensive manual work. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*
