Two series of three-dimensional finite element models representing typical windows structure of passenger ship are generated. Static-elastic strength finite element analysis is performed. Fatigue damage is evaluated and reliability based on long-normal approach is calculated. Numerical and fatigue test results are compared and discussed. Variations of several parameters of the geometry are studied and accuracy of different element type models are also investigated
