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.
The versatility of Finite Element based concrete slab design

Finite Element based concrete slab design provides a flexible and versatile design tool for the analyse and design of highly complex geometries combined with multiple openings
Applying the effect of building height in the calculation of wind loading
Posted on in MasterFrame
Wind action is an important design consideration for most buildings. Several direction and terrain dependent factors are taken into account during the wind load calculation. But how can we calculate the effect of the building height?

How to model and calculate the effect of bolt slip
Posted on in MasterFrame
Using standard bolted connections in a truss, the actual deflection may well be significantly greater than the original analysed frame deflection, due to bolt slip. How can we take into account the effect of the bolt slip in the calculation model?

Standard and user-defined cross-section import
Posted on in MasterFrame
MasterSeries provides extensive in-built steel cross-section libraries and built-up and parametric cross-section creation possibilities to empower engineers to be able to create any kind of structural solution. But sometimes you need to import a new cross-section library or user-defined sections.
Utilising the stiffness of nominally pinned bases in frame design
Posted on in MasterFrame
Typically a four-bolt column base is usually considered to be a nominally pinned support in structural analysis. However, benefit can be taken from the stiffness of nominally pinned bases to reduce frame deflections and to reduce the effects of the deformed geometry.
