Fatigue

Deep Dive on TCD (Theory of Critical Distance):  fe-safe provides various fatigue analysis methods, algorithms, and built-in material properties. We have introduced these different methods and algorithms in detail for many years. In 2024, we compared the characteristics and performances of all strain-based and stress-based algorithms implemented in fe-safe by comparing the results for the same problem. TCD (Theory of Critical Distance) and DTMF (Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue) were also introduced. 

This year, we will introduce TCD methods and algorithms available in fe-safe, mesh correlation, and TCD Best Practices through TCD Deep Dive. With this, we expect that users will be able to apply more sophisticated and practical fatigue life prediction to a component design by judging whether the generated crack propagates or not. TCD will provide an additional powerful tool to the existing crack initiation fatigue life prediction technique in fatigue analysis.

Manufacturing Process Simulation

Multiphysics Manufacturing Process Simulation: Modern manufacturing processes are complex, with even minor variances capable of leading to significant challenges, costly delays, and excessive scrap. This seminar will showcase various workflows for simulating manufacturing across three key industries: 

• Transportation & Mobility
• Aerospace & Defense
• High-Tech Semiconductors.

Batteries

In this three-part session, we present our advanced multiscale simulation technologies to systematically address and overcome these challenges in battery development:

• Session 1: The Molecular Scale: Driving Innovation in Li-Ion Battery Material Development with Material Simulation and Laboratory Informatics

• Session 2: The Engineering Scale: Driving Li-Ion Battery Innovation with Multischale Modeling & Simulation: Driving Innovation with Materials Simulation and Laboratory Informatics

• Session 3: Bridging the scales: Driving innovation in Li-Ion battery materials at the microstructure level to enhance cell performance
