A new article featuring the LimitState:FORM design optimization software has been published in the October 2019 issue of The Structural Engineer.
LimitState is pleased to announce the latest release of LimitState:FORM, our powerful layout optimization tool. LimitState:FORM is designed help engineers and designers to rapidly predict the optimum layout of components and structures – minimizing workflow disruption and enabling a rapid journey from specification to manufacture.
LimitState:FORM v3.1 adds extra functionality to the editing and filtering tools, as well as a number of tweaks and bugfixes. For example, we've added the ability to switch to a frame representation during analysis, meaning that the inherent strength of the structure can be used and modifications are even more likely to be successful.
