I'm a Masters Student at TUM and I have been working on a project with SIMPACK I have made the stress analysis on my model in SIMPACK and also exported the fatigue input for fe-safe but when I try to import that data file into fe-safe i keep getting the error 'Failed to read stress information from FBI file.' How do I tackle this because after the error fe-safe reads the Groups and Assembly but my Datasets keep coming empty as a result I cannot perform the fatigue analysis. Does anybody know the solution to this error or what am I doing wrong. Also is there any why I can bring this fatigue data directly in ansys so that maybe i can analyse there if not fe-safe?
While I haven't done this particular import before, the first thing would be to check if you actually got stress data written to your FBI file. Normally if the data is there, FE-SAFE is pretty good at picking it up. Most of the time, something goes wrong with the data export.
Thank you for your answer David. How can I ensure that my stress data is written to the .fbi file? I know the stress files are generated separately in SIMPACK. How do I combine my .fbi file with .stress file? David Sziroczak
Dear Tanzeel Anjum ,
unfortunately I've never tried and don't have access to Simpack, so can't test it for you. My guesses would be to check if there is an option in Simpack to output everything to a single file, or to add it to FE-SAFE as a separate stress dataset. Maybe the manual says something about it, or if nothing else works, try to find your academic contact to ask for support.
David Sziroczak Thank you for your insight I really appreciate it. I have read the manuel over and over again there is not telling if this can be done and if I can have stress data somehow in my .fbi file but I'll try to get the support if that's possible. Thank you!
