The analysis features of Multiframe are available via the Analysis object. This object contains the flags indicating which analyses are to be performed, the settings for each of the analyses and of course a method to perform the actual analysis.

The settings associated with each type of analysis that Multiframe can perform are contained in separate objects. The LinearSettings object contains the setting required by the linear analysis. However, this object has only been provided for consistency at there are no setting required by the linear analysis at this stage. All the settings associated with a nonlinear analysis are stored within the NonlinearSettings object, while the parameters required to perform a modal or time history analysis are specified using the ModalSettings and TimeHistorySettings objects. Note that while a time history analysis can be performed via the automation interface, the time history loading and results of time history analyses are not yet available.
