This study aimed to investigate Microsoft Office Excel's use of mechanical components' static and fatigue strength verification for non-welded and welded components and its integration into Ansys Workbench. An FKM Excel tool was developed to calculate the assessment and tested against the FKM guideline example. A detailed comparison is made between the results of the FKM Excel tool and the FKM guideline example. Moreover, relevant stress and stress gradient values were obtained using Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). This investigation has revealed that the methodology is very efficient and faster. Furthermore, it makes it possible to use for proof strength. This research implies that there is a possibility of obtaining further automating processes in excel and Ansys Workbench.}, language = {en} }
