Multiframe CONNECT Edition 2023 (23.07.00.268) Win x64

The MOSES development team is pleased to announce the release of Maxsurf 2023 and Multiframe 2023. For this release, there are several important changes which are described below.
Bentley Lifecycle Policy and version numbering
Bentley Systems is making changes to the support lifecycle of desktop applications. One of the key changes is that major versions of Maxsurf will be supported with critical fixes for at least five years, although users are still encouraged to update to each new version to benefit from new features that are added to Maxsurf.
The main change is that we will be moving to year-based naming for Maxsurf, thus this release is Maxsurf 2023. The version numbering (MM.MM.uu.bb) changes slightly with now the first two digit pairs (MM.MM) indicating the major version number of the software; the next par of digits (uu) is the minor update of that major release (if any) and the final par (bb) is the build number. The expectation is to release one major release per year around April-May with the possibility of a minor update around September/October.
Major versions continue to be able to be installed side-by-side on the same machine; thus "Maxsurf 2023" (v23.07.00) can be installed alongside "MAXSURF 23.06". Minor updates to a major release releases will replace the any existing installation with the same major version number; thus v23.07.01.bb would replace v23.07.00.bb but still be called "Maxsurf 2023".
Maxsurf and Multiframe product consolidation
MAXSURF Advanced and MAXSURF Ultimate are now consolidated into a single product with all the capabilities and features. This new product will be known as 'Maxsurf' and will be under the MOSES Bentley Offshore brand. The consolidated Maxsurf has the old MAXSURF Ultimate product ID 2143
Multiframe and Multiframe Advanced are now consolidated into a single product with all the capabilities and features. This new product will be known as 'Multiframe' and will be under the MOSES Bentley Offshore brand. The consolidated Multiframe has the old Multiframe Advanced product ID 2144
From this release, Maxsurf 2023 and Multiframe 2023, onwards the License Configuration dialog will continue to be displayed when starting an application primarily for verification of the license status since there are no tier options to select.
Key new features
Surface continuity visualization with Zebra mapping
A zebra map render option is now available from the render dialog. Zebra mapping assists in visualizing the degree of continuity across surface bonds.

Conditional flooding of non-buoyant volumes
It is now possible to conditionally flood a Non-Buoyant Volume (NBV). Normally NBVs are permanently flooded, this new feature makes it possible to flood the BNV only when a specific Key Point is immersed. This feature can be used to model the flooding of a yacht's cockpit for example.

Multiframeprovides linear and non-linear analysis, static and dynamic options and buckling calculations. These analysis options are complemented by a full range of analysis-related modeling tools like master-slave, prescribed displacements, springs, thermal effects, offset members, additional masses and much more. Other modules allow you to draw sectionshapes and install them in the sections library and perform design checks for a range of design codes. Multiframe Automation allows you to prepare design calculations in Excel and link them directly with your Multiframe model. An ever expanding range of design add-ons also allows you to simplify steel code checking and optimization.
