Comprehensive Fatigue Life Prediction
FATIQ — Streamlined Fatigue Analysis
Standalone software dedicated to fatigue life prediction. Based on FE results, FATIQ offers an intuitive solution for fatigue life prediction in both the frequency and time domain — opening up life-prediction studies to engineers across expertise levels.
Overview
Fatigue Analysis, Without the Bottlenecks
FATIQ offers an easy and streamlined path to setup, run, and post-process fatigue analyses — eliminating the bottlenecks associated with other fatigue software. Based on FE results, it covers life prediction in both the frequency and time domain.
An easy-to-use stepwise workflow manager, a tools portfolio for multiple analyses, support for various solvers to avoid keyword-based setup, and interactive post-processing — all in one package, available as part of the BETA CAE Systems suite.
Capability 1
Multiple Analyses & Tasks
Define several analyses for a single model in the same workflow. Run analyses with different parameters and compare results — while minimising input data and avoiding repeated tedious tasks. FATIQ can also host multiple workflow tasks with different models in a single session.
Capability 2
Easy-to-Use Loads Assignment
Define loads and analysis duty cycles by combining FE results sub-cases with PSD or signal input data. The Load Assistant allows the setup of many parallel / serial events on a duty cycle with just a few clicks — and its console-style window gives an overview of the defined duty cycle.
Capability 3
80+ Metals & Alloys In the Material Database
FATIQ provides an internal database of fatigue properties for more than 80 metals and alloys, according to well-known bibliography. Define custom materials of single curve, multi curve-mean, and multi curve-R. Material assignment on large models is facilitated through sophisticated rules that are simple to define and reuse.

Plus custom curves (single / multi-mean / multi-R)
Capability 4
Interactive Post-Processing
Post-processing of fatigue results in an interactive process within FATIQ. Dedicated plots complement each other to give a clear view of the analysis results.
- PSD plots
- Event graphs
- Rainflow matrices
- 3D fringes
