Kajima Corporation in Tokyo is one of the most respected design and construction companies in Japan. Established over 100 years ago, the company has a long history of innovative design and construction projects. They were responsible for some of the facilities at the Nagano Winter Olympics and build high rise and power generation projects throughout Japan. The company has over 13,000 employees and offices around the world.

The company has Multiframe software installed at a number of design and construction offices around Japan. Kajima design engineers use Multiframe for a variety of projects, one of the most interesting being an observation platform in the new Fuji Television Building in Tokyo. Kajima designed this building in conjunction with sub-contractor Kobori Research Complex, Inc.

This building forms a new headquarters for the Fuji Television Network and features a number of unusual structural configurations. The innovative design divides building space into an office tower and a media tower linked by three enclosed pedestrian bridges. These bridges lengthen the structure and make it highly earthquake resistant. Next to the media tower is a spherical observation platform which was built on the roof of the 7th floor and raised to its final position on the 25th floor by means of hydraulic jacks.

The 1200 ton, 32 meter diameter sphere was a very complex model to design and analyze. Multiframe was used extensively over several months to create the 882 member/544 node model. This was used both to visualize the assembly of the structure as well as to assess its structural performance. In fact the Kajima design engineers commented that "none of this would have been possible without Multiframe".
