Predictor-LimA Software Suite Type 7810
Description

In the suite, Predictor and LimA can be used as stand-alone applications, or as one integrated application by using the LimA-Link option in Predictor. Because Predictor and LimA both use the same fast LimA calculation cores, there is no difference in calculation speed or calculation capacity.
 
Predictor has a fast learning curve, enabling you to work efficiently, even for infrequent users. Modelling is easy with its intuitive and unique multi-model view and unlimited undo/redo functionality. Being powerful and intuitive with macros for automated model changes, you can model real life quickly, easily and accurately, even in complex situations.
 
LimA is highly configurable. Its openness eases integration with external data sets, calculation components and other systems. It includes powerful macro functionality with automated data manipulation and advanced geometric handling for modelling without the need to use other software such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
 
The suite offers three basic implementations:
• Predictor: For most projects that require the calculation standards supported by Predictor, its intuitive user-interface allows them to be handled quickly and easily.
• LimA stand alone: For calculation standards not supported by Predictor such as German and Eastern European standards.
• LimA integrated into other (GIS) systems: For implementing environmental noise calculation and analysis functionality in other systems.


Fast learning curve

More than any other noise calculation software, Predictor is designed according to the Windows® software design guide, helping you to be familiar with it from the very start. 
 
The intuitive interface and well-organised project structure guides and supports you, so you can focus on the project and not your software. 
 
All scenarios and action plans are maintained within one Predictor project, avoiding time lost searching for the correct files on the network.

 
Accurate and straightforward modelling

Complex situations with undulating terrain, fly-overs, bridges and indoor/outdoor calculations, or large projects with hundreds of thousands of objects can be set up just as easily and straightforwardly as a simple noise map.
 
The intuitive functionality includes powerful GIS import and 2D/3D edit options, enabling you to efficiently handle all kind of projects, while it also supports the use of macros for efficient automation of geometrical processing. 

 
Fast calculations

LimA’s state-of-the-art calculation cores have been independently proven as the fastest available for Calculation of Road and Traffic Noise (CRTN). Their huge capacity and high calculation speed give quick results while reducing your investment in computing power. 


Integrates with other systems

LimA’s software design is built on an open structure that is highly customisable. Together with its architecture and processing speed, this makes it the preferred software for integration with other tools. LimA modules and calculation cores can run behind external software, interfacing to other solutions like ArcGIS.
