John Draper, founding Director of Safe Technology and the mastermind behind the fe-safe technology ran his well-known and well respected ‘Developing a Design Process for Durability’ technology transfer seminar for us online last month.  A huge audience logged in to watch over 6 hours of content.

The eSeminar covered the problems that can now be solved using durability analysis software for FEA models and explained how to develop a design process for durability. The content focused on fatigue theory rather than the application of fe-safe. The power behind John’s teaching is that he manages to make very complex issues such as multiaxial & strain-based fatigue accessible and easy to understand.

If you want to get the best out of fe-safe – or indeed any durability analysis software tool for FEA - then this content is essential viewing!
