Introducing ThreeDFrame
ThreeDFrame ('3D-Frame') is a software for the structural analysis and design
of three-dimensional frames.
ThreeDFrame is completely integrated within Microsoft Windows and can easily be used in
multi-language projects or working environments. It even can serve as a major communication
tool for engineers working from different countries on international projects. Therefore,
ThreeDFrame is an active contribution to build a single European market.
ThreeDFrame features a powerful graphical user interface unmatched in terms of ease-of-use
and productivity. Creation and modification of the structural model, running
the analysis, and checking and optimisation of the design are all done through
the same interface. Graphical displays of the results are always at the structural
engineer's fingertips. Armed with ThreeDFrame, structural engineering becomes a delight.
Enjoy!
