What financial incentives does being able to produce a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with MasterSeriesLCA provide?
Posted on in MasterFrame
Being able to produce LCAs with your building designs, gives you the opportunity to contribute to various Green Certification Schemes. With this advantage, not only would you be doing you part in the Climate Emergency, but you would also getting the opportunity to contribute to the design of Green Certified Buildings, which often be seen as very attractive investment for various reasons that we will outline within this blog post.
Understanding How to Edit and Add Both Standard and Non-Standard User Sections to Your Masterseries Model
Posted on in MasterFrame
MasterSeries includes a large library of in-built steel sections which includes British, European, American, South African and Chinese sections. These in-built section profiles adhere to geometric properties defined in design codes such as British Standards and Eurocodes, which allow for their design within MasterSeries. As well as the in-built libraries, MasterSeries incorporates many other section types which can be designed within the software, the full range of which can be found within our MasterKey: Steel Design feature list.
Is your finite element mesh size appropriate?
Posted on in MasterFrame
The accuracy of any FE analysis is heavily influenced by the size of the finite element mesh. Large elements result in a faster analysis time but at the cost of a loss of accuracy. But a small global mesh size, while giving a higher level of accuracy, comes at the cost of analysis time. So how do you know if the mesh is correct?
Hints & Tricks Webinar Part 2 – How to model and analyse buildings using Finite Elements [WEBINAR RECORDING]
Posted on in MasterFrame
Finite Element Analysis is an extremely useful tool for modelling structures that are too complex for regular beam element analytical solutions. However, finite elements raises many questions both in modelling and analysis.

How to design web to flange welds in plate girders?
Posted on in MasterFrame
Nearly all plate girders built today are welded. Two flange plates fillet welded to a web plate to form an I-section. But how to design the welds between the flange and web of a plate girder?
Structural modelling with FE surfaces
Posted on in MasterFrame
Finite element analysis is an extremely useful tool to analyse structures that are too complex for regular analytical solutions. However, when modelling with finite elements, the question of how to connect and combine different structural elements, sooner or later come up.
