Multiframe CONNECT Edition v22 Update 3

The Multiframe development team is pleased to announce the release of Multiframe CONNECT Edition V22 Update 3 (version 22.03.00.121). This solution helps structural experts check the structure of their vessel to comply with class requirements and optimise it for strength and weight. It can be used for deck grillage, frame, superstructure and mast strength calculations.

Release 22.03 March 2020
– Several New Trimesh Functions – these include extrude, split, assess quality, Boolean operations with groups of closed trimeshes including Union and Intersection, detailed trimesh statistics, trimesh standard shapes,
– Surface Trimming enhancements to simplify detailed models
– Structural Analysis Technology Preview
– COM Automation interface enhancements
– Motions – enhancements
– Multiframe Shape Editor enhancements

* 1060502: Evaluation and Trial licenses are differentiated in the Help | About > Sys Info. dialog. Evaluation licenses must be specifically requested and typically valid for 30 days; trial licenses allow the software to work for the first 7 days of use without the need for activation.
* 1050044, 1030356: A crash which could occur on startup with some very slow computers has been fixed.
* 1028035: Application log files (if generated) are now time-stamped and saved in the %temp% folder.
* 948698, 938158: Auto saved files have been added for most of the MAXSURF Modules. In the event of an unexpected crash, these restore files can be found in the %TEMP% folder:

This feature may me disabled or the Auto-save interval adjusted using the following Registry settings:
TempBackupFile_AutoBackupIntervalSeconds
TempBackupFile_DoAutoBackup

* 1079285: Fixed incorrect Kl/rcalculation in Compressive Capacity check for AISC ASD2010
* 1068670: Afterturningoff patch visibility, patch results are still visible in Description window.Fixed
* 1067218: Set best section for a design member causes a crash. Fixed.
* 1064896: The rendered model now correctly updates when the section type is changed from the dorp-down combo-box.
* 1047721: Random crash for certain models due to model depth sorting. Fixed
* 1040812: A crash which occurred when performing a plate analysis in Multiframe basic has been fixed.
* 1015006: A problem which caused non-uniform,distributed patch loadsto beshown intheincorrect directionhas been fixed.
* 1067218; Set best section for a design member causes a crash. Fixed.
* 228207: A LRFD bug where effective section propertieswere not calculated for no-compact HSS sectionshas been fixed.

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 modeling tools like master-slave, prescribed displacements, springs, thermal effects, offset members, additional masses and much more. Other modules allow you to draw sectionshapes and install them in the sections library and perform design checks for a range of design codes. 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 optimization.
Multiframe helps you redefine design excellence for any types of structures. Choose the version that fits your project needs:
Multiframe: Linear analysis of frame and plate structures, non-linear analysis of frames, Section properties calculator, local steel code checks (AS4100, AS4600, NZS3404)
Multiframe Advanced: Mutiframe capabilities plusdynamic modal analysis and time history analysis,International steel design codes(AIJ, ASD, LRFD, AISI, BS5950, EC3).
