MasterPort Lite
MasterPortLite contains many of the fundamental elastic-plastic analysis and design components found in MasterPortPlus, enabling you to automatically generate and design a wide variety of plane portal frames.
MasterPortLite is a portal frame design system aimed at people who do not design portal frames on a regular basis and therefore cannot justify the cost of the full MasterPortPlus. MasterPortLite can also be seen as a stepping stone to MasterPortPlus, with the full cost of MasterPortLite being discounted in the upgrade price.
