The following videos will help you understand the basics of modelling, analysis and design using Multiframe. If you watch each video in turn, they run through the steps involved in creating a model, applying loads, carrying out analysis and viewing results.
The videos require the Adobe Flash Player which is usually installed on your system. If you do need to download it, you can download the Flash Player from www.adobe.com.
