 Multiframe,UC-win/FRAME(3D),Engineer's Studio(R)Analysis Support Service

Start of the service: October 2010 Support / Service

Introduction
FORUM8 is providing both architectural analysis support service as well as the existing structural analysis. Multiframe, UC-win/FRAME(3D), and Engineer'sStudio(R)are used for this service.

Service flow
We will first request for the structural drawing and the load case for the cost estimation. Next, the estimation sheet is submitted to the customer. After comfirmation of the analysis contents and the estimation cost, our technical staff will start working..
Our technical staff creates the analysis data together with the customers to provide the appropriate analysis result where the input data, optionally section force data are sorted out. We will provide support for any inquiries after submission of the analysis data.
What is Multiframe?
Multiframe is the structural engineering analysis software developed by Formation Design Systems in Australia. Its first version was released for Macintosh and this software has been used by more than 3,000 users in all over the world. It allows the section calculation based on the standard in each country. In Ver.12, it supports for the plane elements to perform a wider range of analysis.

What is UC-win/FRAME(3D)?
UC-win/FRAME(3D) is the 3D analysis program for space-framed structures. The Advanced version allows the static and dynamic analysis based on the material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity.
It has various verification features for the allowable stress, flexural capacity, shear capacity, and nonlinear members. Our analysis support team won the contest sponsored by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Japan : "C1-2 E-Defense Pre-analysis contest of Full scale RC Pier Earthquake Resistance Experiment, fiber model" with UC-win/FRAME(3D).

What is Engineer's Studio(R)?
Engineer's Studio(R) is the 3D plate dynamic nonlinear analysis program. The function for nonlinear plate elements is added to UC-win/FRAME(3D). The constitutive law of WCOMD which was developed by the concrete laboratory in Tokyo University is applied for the nonlinear RC plane elements.
Our analysis support team won the contest sponsored by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Japan : "C1-6 E-Defense Pre-analysis Contest of Full scale RC Pier Earthquake Resistance Experiment using nature mortar" with Engineer's Studio(R).
