Advanced Analysis Tools
The addition of MasterFrame Finite Element analysis, MasterFrame Dynamic analysis or MasterFrame Seismic analysis provides the engineer with advanced analysis capabilities, all utilising the same MasterFrame model and interface. In the case of the Finite Element Analysis and the Seismic Module, the analysis results will automatically compile the element forces which are then used in any subsequent member design. The advanced analysis and design modules use MasterFrame as the basis method to create and load a model, so allowing users to use the familiar MasterFrame interface to access the advanced analysis methods. This leads to a reduction in the learning time for these modules and also avoiding the need to recreate models for different analyses.
