About PART Engineering

PART Engineering provides CAE software and services in the scope of FEA. Our mission is to enable our customers to gain more value from their FE simulations and to make their CAE processes more efficient. With regard to that from our years of experience in CAE we have developed software products, such as CONVERSE to meet the needs of CAE engineers – creating reliable results by using simple and robust applications.

S-Life FKM is available through the Altair Partner Alliance.

“We use S-Life to evaluate our FE analyses of generator rotors. The intuitive and fast handling reduces considerably our evaluation and documentation effort.”

–Lukas Speckner, Computational Engineer
Stork Technical Services GmbH, Regensburg, Germany
