Custom Moment Frame Designs Have Never Been so Easy

The new MiTek SMF Design Manager includes three sections – Project Design Information, Frame Geometry and Frame Loads.

The interactive HF SMF Design Manager from MiTek enables you to easily input SMF design parameters, then submit to our engineers with the click of a mouse. Custom SMF Designs and job specific installation details have never been so easy.

  • As Frame geometry, frame configuration, anchorage connections and wood nailer options are input, image graphics are updated instantly to reflect the selections.
  • When live and dead loads are entered; uniform or concentrated, a loading diagram simultaneously reflecting the input is provided.
  • The Design Manager can now be used for single or two story Frames, up to 3 bays.
