BETA CAE Solvers — FEA, Fatigue, Hydrodynamics

Structures & Multiphysics

Three BETA CAE solvers integrated with the ANSA / META workflow — EPILYSIS for FEA across structural, dynamics, and NVH, FATIQ for streamlined fatigue life prediction, and SPH for mesh-free hydrodynamic simulation. All now part of Cadence.

Overview

Solvers Built for the ANSA / META Workflow

BETA CAE's solver family is designed to close the loop on the pre-processor / post-processor / solver triangle. Models built in ANSA flow directly into EPILYSIS for FEA or SPH for hydrodynamic problems, with FATIQ providing dedicated fatigue life prediction on top of FE results.

No keyword-based setup, no impedance mismatch between tools. The solver doesn't fight the pre-processor — they're one product family.

Three Solvers, One Workflow

Pick the right physics — the rest of the BETA CAE pipeline stays the same.

EPILYSIS

EPILYSIS

FEA solver covering structural linear / non-linear, modal analysis (Block-Lanczos, AMLS), frequency & transient response, substructuring (Guyan, CMS), and HPC parallelisation.

If you need… Reach for…
Static structural / linear analysis EPILYSIS — linear static, real symmetric eigenvalue, Block-Lanczos / AMLS modal extraction.
Frequency / transient dynamics EPILYSIS — direct or modal frequency response, transient response, fast FRA for large models.
NVH analysis of multi-component assemblies EPILYSIS — works with ANSA NVH Console; CMS substructuring + FRF-based assembly.
Fatigue life prediction from FE results FATIQ — frequency & time-domain fatigue, multi-event duty cycles, rainflow, hot-spot identification.
Material fatigue properties at hand FATIQ — built-in database of 80+ metals and alloys; custom curves supported.
Free-surface or large-displacement flow SPH Solver — mesh-free Lagrangian particle method, ideal for sloshing / breaking-wave problems.
Quick hydrodynamic check in ANSA SPH Solver — GPU-tuned for near real-time results on moderately sized problems.

BETA Suite Integration

No Solver Lives Alone

EPILYSIS, FATIQ, and SPH share the same ANSA pre-processor, META post-processor, and (optionally) SPDRM data-and-process backbone. Move from model to result to fatigue check without leaving the workflow.

Works with

  • ANSA — multidisciplinary pre-processor
  • META — post-processor with rich visualisation
  • SPDRM — enterprise data & process management
  • KOMVOS — SDM console & 3D viewer
  • Third-party FE solvers (NASTRAN, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, etc.)
