About FEMFAT
FEMFAT is a globally recognized fatigue life prediction and durability analysis software developed by Magna Engineering Center Steyr, now part of the Siemens Digital Industries Software portfolio. With over 30 years of continuous development, it is trusted by automotive OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, and industrial machinery companies for accurate fatigue assessment under complex loading conditions.
Core Analysis Capabilities
- Multi-axial fatigue analysis using Findley, Dang Van, Crossland, and Sines critical plane methods
- Stress-life (S-N) and strain-life (E-N) approaches with mean stress correction (Goodman, Gerber, Morrow, Smith-Watson-Topper)
- Welded joint fatigue assessment per Eurocode 3, IIW recommendations, FKM guidelines, and AWS D1.1
- Vibration fatigue and frequency-domain analysis for random loading with PSD input
- Thermomechanical fatigue for engine components, exhaust systems, and brake discs
- Crack propagation analysis with Paris law, Walker, and NASGRO models
- Statistical fatigue analysis for scatter assessment and reliability-based design
