FEMFAT (Finite Element Method Fatigue) performs fatigue analyses in combination with all leading finite element pre-processors and solvers.
FEMFAT is a tool designed to identify critical locations and supports the light weight optimization process at an early development stage, way before time- and cost-consuming tests will be performed. This results in high confident level to release prototypes, therefore less development loops and costly hardware tests.
Continuously developed over the last 20 years, FEMFAT provides reliable results to release virtual prototypes in an early development stage. FEMFAT is widely used in the automotive and non-automotive industry and trusted to be the number one tool for CAE.
The binding link between test track, laboratory and CAE is FEMFAT LAB. It supports development engineers with respect to load data management, including analysis, data processing and generation of load spectra. FEMFAT LAB is a powerful software solution to visualize analyze and process large amounts of load data. FEMFAT LAB analyzes time histories of millions of data points and hundreds of channels within seconds.
Anomalies such as drift, mean shift and spikes can be removed either automatically or manually. Time can be saved using the FEMFAT LAB project functionality, because the same operations can be carried out automatically for several files without any user input.
About Engineering Center Steyr
The company Steyr-Daimler-Puch was founded as Josef and Franz Werndl Company in 1864 as a rifle manufacturer, but became known as Steyr-Werke AG in 1924.
The company began producing bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, automobiles, tractors, trucks and busses.
Its early years were dominated by three big names – Steyr, Daimler and Puch (merged with Puch and Austro-Daimler to form Steyr-Daimler-Puch), which formed the Austrian roots of MAGNA.
When you take a historical look at MAGNA in Austria, you can see that we have been consistently delivering satisfaction to our customers for the last 100 years by engineering and assembling vehicles to the highest technical standards.
Engineering Center Steyr was borne out of more than 100 years of experience in R&D and production in the areas of vehicle, engine and drivetrain.
We certainly can look back on an exciting history and we know that our strong heritage is the base for our innovative solutions for tomorrow.
