One product – many applications!
- Fully flexible control over problem geometry and ground profile
- Also has built in 'wizards' for rapid definition of a wide range of standard problems including:
- slope stability analysis
- foundation bearing capacity analysis
- retaining wall analysis
- Take advantage of Eurocode ‘problem-agnostic’ partial factor sets
|
|
Full support for Eurocode 7
- Built-in Eurocode 7 partial factor sets
- Specify favourable or unfavourable loading and be alerted following analysis if this is incorrect for the critical mechanism.
- Use the Scenario manager to define and solve multiple scenarios in one go (e.g. EC7 Design Combinations 1 & 2, drained and undrained cases etc.)

Shallow learning curve
- Easier to use than most ‘single application’ products
- Quick and simple modifications to geometry, boundary conditions, materials and loading, using mouse or keyboard
- Much, much easier to use than other generally applicable tools, e.g. non-linear finite elements
- We have invested the time so you don't have to!

Output easy to verify and understand
- Generates simple free-body diagrams which provide a clear and easy means of checking solution validity
- Visualise failure modes easily (animation & 3D view)
- Clear yet comprehensive report output

Fully featured
- Ships with a library of predefined partial factor sets for common design codes / approaches; however, the user can define (and save) an unlimited number of their own partial factor sets
- Import geometries from CAD (dxf)
- Groundwater table (horizontal or variably inclined) easily specified
- Handle uncertain ground conditions by modelling multiple soil types in a single soil body (LimitState:GEO will always pick the critical case)
- To find out more, visit the Specifications page.

Revolutionary solver engine
- Harnesses the power of the groundbreaking ‘Discontinuity Layout Optimization’ method, developed by co-founders of LimitState and described in the Proceedings of the Royal Society
- Finds the true failure mechanism for any problem - not one e.g. based on prescribed, circles, slices or wedges
- Fully flexible ultimate limit state analysis tool!
