Since 1996 Structural Design, Inc. has used a number of installations of Multiframe on a wide variety of design projects. One of their most interesting examples is a stadium upgrade for the University of Michigan. In response to increased demand for stadium seating in the fall of 1997, they embarked on a plan to add 5000 seats to their stadium, as well as scoreboards, in time for use during the 1998 fall season.

As originally designed in 1926, the stadium was a fully below grade, cast-in-place concrete bowl. Over the years, steel bleacher additions, most notably in 1949, added a ring of above grade seating around the bowl. The challenges presented to the architect were: first, to extend that ring of steel in a way that would visually unify the stadium perimeter and conform to modern codes, and second, to envision the project in such a way that it could be both designed and constructed in just ten months.

If you want to build a different kind of structure, and you plan on using a space frame to do it, then Gary Curtis at Gossamer Space Frames is probably the person you should talk to. A Multiframe user since 1996, Gary has used Multiframe 4D, Section Maker and Steel Designer to design a range of innovative structures. He is now a part of Gossamer Space Frames, a company established to develop the use of a unique joint for applications in space frame structures. This patented joint provides a rigid connection for circular tube framing members composed of any material that can be machined.

Multiframe has now been in use for over 15 years and has thousands of users worldwide. However few of those users can claim to have used the software for as long as independent consultant Duncan Bray. He was one of the first 10 or so users of the program and from its humble early days, with a 2D only version running on a Mac Plus, Multiframe has formed one of the cornerstones of Duncan's structural design work.

His specialization is in the area of large and unusual luxury housing structures, many of which can be seen along the coastal beaches of Sydney, Australia. His design projects tend to be one-off problems that require an individual solution. On occasion he also works on industrial projects such as a series of 40m span trusses for an industrial redevelopment in Botany Bay.
