Software Description:
Bentley Multiframe helps structural expertscheck the structure of their vessel to comply with classrequirements and optimise it for strength and weight. It can beused for deck grillage, frame, superstructure and mast strengthcalculations.
When designing a steel or aluminium vessel, there are a range ofstructural analysis approaches which can be used to assess theship’s structural capacity and compliance with class requirements.Multiframe is a general purpose beam and plate element based systemwhich allows you to very quickly model and analyse ship structuresand carry out static or dynamic analyses of their structuralbehaviour. It is an ideal compliment to the more time consumingfull finite element analysis and less accurate spreadsheetcalculations.
Multiframe can load in a geometry file from Structure or any otherstructural modelling system, and then provides a wide range oftools to apply structural properties like restraints, materials andsection shapes. Facilities are included to create a family of loadcases and then perform a static or dynamic analysis. Static resultscan be reviewed in terms of displays of actions, stresses anddeflections. Dynamic results include natural frequencies and modeshapes or more detailed time history results for time varyingloads.
Multiframe’s Automation interface with Excel means that you canoptimise structural behaviour using your own custom calculations,as well as the built-in searching, sorting and checking functions.Automation is particularly useful both for post-processing ofanalysis data as well as pre-processing including generation ofhydrostatic or wave loads.
Multiframe has a particularly strong set of 3D tools for easilymanaging the complex geometry which results from a detailedstructural analysis model. Rendering and animation can be combinedwith the clipping, searching and sorting functions. This makes iteasy to narrow your focus to critical areas.
Multiframe also includes Shape Editor, a section propertiescalculator as well a comprehensive library of common structuralshapes.
