We spent a lot of time staring at colorful heat maps on screens, and if there is one thing we have learned, it is that heat is a silent killer for engineering components. Whether you are running a plant in Houston, designing a turbine in London, or managing infrastructure in Dubai, the physics does not change: things expand, things contract, and eventually, things break.
At Fluxiss, we don’t just “run simulations.” We personally look at every project as a puzzle where Thermal and Fatigue Analysis is the key. We help firms across the USA, UK, Europe, and UAE understand exactly how their materials behave when the temperature climbs and the loads start cycling.
When we talk about Heat Transfer Analysis, we are not just looking at a thermometer. We are looking at the “why” and “how” of heat flow. Through Thermal FEA, we simulate three main players:
We usually start with a Steady State Thermal Analysis to see where the heat settles during normal operation. But the real moment happens during Transient Thermal Analysis. This shows the thermal spikes during startup and shutdown. That is where the Thermal Gradient Analysis reveals the hidden killers—those sharp temperature differences that cause Thermal Deformation.
You’ve probably heard or seen a part fail that “should have held up.” That is usually Fatigue Analysis—or a lack of it—at work. Materials get tired. In our research and field experience, we found that even if a load is below the yield strength, Repeated Load Simulation proves that the material will eventually give up.
For our clients in New York or Manchester, we dive deep into:
In the real world, you don’t just have heat or just have loads—you have both. Thermo Mechanical Analysis is where we combine the Heat Induced Stress with Cyclic Stress Behavior.
When we run a Thermal Fatigue Analysis, we are looking for Temperature Induced Fatigue. Think about a jet engine in Los Angeles or a desert power plant in Abu Dhabi. The constant heating and cooling create Thermal Load Analysis challenges that standard tests miss. We use Material Fatigue Modeling to simulate years of wear in just a few days of computing.
Engineering is about certainty. We don’t like “maybe,” and we know you don’t either. By using Combined Thermal and Fatigue Analysis, we take the guesswork out of Material Fatigue Modeling. Whether it’s Conduction Heat Transfer in a circuit board or Mechanical Fatigue Analysis on a bridge, Fluxiss is here to make sure your designs last as long as you promised they would.

Use Steady State if your machine runs at a constant temp for hours. It’s faster and cheaper. However, if your equipment turns on and off frequently, you need Transient Analysis. It captures the "thermal shock" that happens in those first few minutes, which is often where the most damage occurs.
When materials get hot, they want to grow. If they are bolted down, they can't. This creates Thermal Stress. Our Thermal Expansion Analysis calculates that internal "fight," which we then plug into Fatigue Failure Prediction. Without this, your life expectancy numbers are just a guess.
It depends on the intensity. If your part stays in the elastic zone (it doesn't permanently bend), Stress-Life is the standard. But for high-heat or high-load "Low Cycle" situations where the metal actually stretches slightly, We always use Strain-Life Analysis for a much more accurate Material Life Expectancy result.
Yes, and it’s actually the best way to do it. We use Cyclic Load Analysis combined with power spectral density (PSD) to simulate messy, real-world vibrations. This helps us find the "Rainflow" of stress cycles that lead to Fatigue Damage Analysis results you can actually trust for your fleet.
