LIMIT® calculates the permissible stresses locally for each element, including various effects like:
- stress gradients,
- surface treatments,
- weld types,
- mean stresses,
- load case combinations,
- service lifetime, etc.
The resulting safety values provide the information you really need to improve your design quickly and cost effectively. In welded structures, critical areas in terms of strength often do not coincide with areas of increased stresses, since the static and fatigue strength strongly depends on the weld geometry and the local loading conditions.
