Welcome to the revitalized MASTAN2 website! Along with updated stability learning modules (see Stability Fun), we’re introducing two exciting features: MSASect2 for advanced cross-section analysis, and Visualize Buckling with interactive 3D models and printable files to enhance your understanding of buckling behavior. Enjoy!
Overview
MASTAN2 is an interactive structural analysis program that provides preprocessing, analysis, and postprocessing capabilities.
Preprocessing
Preprocessing options include definition of structural geometry, support conditions, applied loads, and element properties.
Analysis
The analysis routines provide 1st- or 2nd-order elastic or inelastic analysis of two- or three-dimensional frames and trusses subjected to static loads. 1st-order elastic time history analysis is also available.
Postprocessing
Postprocessing capabilities include the interpretation of structural behavior through deformation and force diagrams, printed output, and facilities for plotting response curves.
