S-Life FKM by PART Engineering

Static and Fatigue Strength Software

S-Life FKM is a static and fatigue strength software for the assessment of finite element analysis (FEA) results according to FKM guideline. The software is used as a post-processor. With S-Life, at the push of a button the computed stresses will be processed in such a way that an assessment of the static and fatigue strength according to the FKM guideline is carried out. As result of the assessment, the static and cyclic utilization ratios will be displayed as contour plot.
