Easy Crack Modelling

BEASY harnesses the power of BEM to automate crack modelling. It is now a simple extension of the standard stress analysis performed by engineers. Simply select the shape, size and location of the crack and BEASY will automatically remesh the model to include the crack and compute the stress intensity data.

Product Durability Prediction
BEASY provides a comprehensive tool for assessment of the residual strengths of damaged structures and risk of failure. It can be used as part of the design/analysis process to predict the impact on components and structure of defects and damage caused by in service loads, manufacturing and fabrication processes, material defects.

Automatic Crack Growth
BEASY not only provides stress intensity data but can also predict how the crack will grow. Remeshing is automatically performed by BEASY where necessary.
The procedure is highly automated with a crack growth wizard guiding the user

Why compromise accuracy of Life Prediction? With BEASY’s fully automatic fatigue and crack growth software, product durability can be quickly and accurately predicted.

  • Product durability prediction;
  • Easy crack modelling;
  • Automatic crack growth;
  • High accuracy;
  • Provides the critical information.

BEASY provides the critical information needed:-


Graph of Number of Cycles vs Crack Size
  • Will the crack grow?
  • Will it grow in an unstable fast or stable slow manner?
  • At what rate will it grow?
  • To what size can the crack grow before becoming unstable?
  • What is the residual strength

High Accuracy
Historically stress intensity factor and crack growth data has been approximated using standard reference solutions. The BEASY approach uses the real geometry, loading and materials providing a highly accurate basis for
life prediction.
The results also include the effects of load redistribution, multiple cracks, true crack path and crack shape modelling.
