Multiframe offers something different -

Structural software designed to work the way you do.

Intuitive, True Windows Interface

Unlike many structural programs, Multiframe doesn't come from a DOS background. It has been designed from the ground up to work in a Windows environment. Its totally graphical interface and flexible construction capabilities will dramatically reduce the time it takes you to set up structural models. This means fewer errors, more time for you to investigate design alternatives and a more professional result.

Dynamic 3D visualisation

Everything you do in Multiframe is visual and intuitive.

This includes multiple 2D and 3D views, real time 3D rendering while you are building your model, clipping and masking to just show those areas of interest, animation of results and much more.

Comprehensive Analysis

Multiframe provides linear and non-linear analysis, static and dynamic options and buckling calculations. These analysis options are complemented by a full range of analysis-related modelling tools like master-slave, prescribed displacements, springs, thermal effects, offset members, additional masses and much more. But Multiframe doesn't stop with the analysis. Other modules allow you to draw section shapes and install them in the sections library and perform design checks for a range of design codes.

Dynamic linking with Excel

Multiframe Automation allows you to prepare design calculations in Excel and link them directly with your Multiframe model. An ever expanding range of design add-ons also allows you to simplify steel code checking and optimisation.

Interactive Summaries of Results

Tailoring the presentation of your results to suit your needs is easy with Multiframe. You can produce varying reports to print out a record of tables, diagrams or calculations for all or just a selected range of members. You can also copy and paste or save files of results for your own post-processing programs or reports. Multiframe Automation lets you set up template reports in Word or Excel and have the data automatically entered based on your analysis results.

Reliability and Support

Developed over 15 years and now used by nearly 2000 users around the world, Multiframe has proven its effectiveness for all types of design, including steel, concrete and timber construction. Our engineering staff would be delighted to assist you, both before and after you become a regular user of the Multiframe software. Just email us at support@formsys.com
