Hexagon CAEfatigue 2025.2

Free Download Hexagon CAEfatigue for Windows. It is an FE-based solver for durability and damage tolerance. It is the only solution for the full range of fracture and fatigue life calculations for static and dynamic problems in both the time and frequency domains.

Overview of Hexagon CAEfatigue

Some estimates place the annual costs in the United States from premature fatigue fractures in structural components at as much as 4% of gross domestic product. Yet testing against repeated loading cycles, sometimes millions of times over, is often too expensive and time-consuming to be practical.

Finite element analysis programs can tell you where stress “hot spots” exist, but they can't tell you whether those hot spots are critical areas for fatigue failure or when fatigue might become a problem. To avoid contributing further to this statistic, many manufacturers accept long prototype-development cycles, overweight components, unpredictable warranty claims, and loss of customer confidence.

MSC Fatigue enables durability engineers to quickly and accurately predict product service life under any combination of time- or frequency-dependent loading conditions. Benefits include reduced prototype testing, fewer product recalls, lower warranty costs, and greater confidence that your product designs will meet required testing schedules.

MSC Fatigue, an advanced life estimation capability, allows users to perform comprehensive fatigue analysis using the same FE results used for stress analysis. The environment seamlessly enables CAE, dynamic analysis, and durability management through a single, user-friendly interface. It includes advanced modules developed by MSC Software more than 20 years ago, as well as more recent modules from the nCode DesignLife suite.
