Overview

MASTAN2 is an interactive structural analysis program that provides preprocessing, analysis, and postprocessing capabilities.

■ Analysis
■ Postprocessing

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.
