LIMIT

LIMIT® is among the leading software for automated strength verification against fatigue failure and static failure in base materials and welds.

Stresses are imported from finite element calculations and evaluated. Numerous relevant standards and guidelines are available for this purpose, which specify the corresponding allowable stresses (FKM guideline, DVS1612, DVS1608, EN17149, EN13001, DNV, Eurocode 3 and 9, BS7608, IIW, ERRI B12, AAR C II, EN13979-1, DangVan, ...).

A powerful program for fatigue analysis must essentially address three challenges:
1. Identify the loads relevant to damage
2. Locatie and check all potential crack initiation sites
3. Process the complex algorithms given in the design standards in a numerically efficient way.

LIMIT® was developed precisely for this purpose and supports engineers in their search for optimum design.
