PTC Creo Fatigue Advisor Extension - Subscription

PTC Creo Fatigue Advisor Extension expands the capabilities of PTC Creo Simulate and allows the evaluation of product design for durability. Using PTC Creo Fatigue Advisor Extension, you can predict the life of metal structures that are prone to fatigue failure under cyclic loading and investigate the impact that design changes have on their endurance.

PTC Creo Simulate and PTC Creo Fatigue Advisor Extension have the same user interface, workflow and productivity tools that are standard throughout the PTC Creo family. The combination of PTC Creo Simulate and PTC Creo Fatigue Advisor can be used as a standalone application or as an extension of PTC Creo Parametric.
