Specifications and Limits#
This section gives an overview of some general software limits and specifications.
Hint
Though there is no strict limit on, e.g., a maximum permissible element ID for processing, it should be noted that program generated output is generally formatted to properly support up to seven digits for all ID’s.
Please note, that this compilation is not meant to be exhaustive; more detailed or alternative limits may be provided in the specific manuals of the respective program modules.
