Introduction Mastan is an engineering analysis tool
used to analyze how different structures will react under specific loading conditions.
Because Mastan uses the Matlab engine to do its calculations, it can do a wide range of analyses that are cumbersome or impossible on paper.

Before you begin, you must know: Geometry: nodes and elements Fixities/boundary conditions (physical restraints
on the structure) Sectional Properties
A: cross-sectional area of each beam
Material Properties E: modulus of elasticity
![Page 5: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Definition: Nodes and Elements Elements (also called members) are the
actual truss elements composing your structure.
Nodes are the joints between elements. Nodes must be placed first, and then
connected by elements in Mastan
![Page 6: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
Definition: Connections The kind of joints you are using is crucial
to your structure. Use pins as joints for a truss. The
character of the joints is specified at analysis time, after building the model
![Page 7: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Definition: Fixities These are the boundary or support
conditions of the structure, for example, pins and rollers
![Page 8: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Definition: Section Properties (Properties dependent upon shape rather than material) A: cross-sectional area of beam For a truss, A is the only section property
required. All the others may be left blank
![Page 9: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Material Properties: (Properties dependent on material) E: Young’s modulus, or modulus of
elasticity: E is a measure of how much you have to pull on something to make it stretch a certain amount.
For our analyses only the Young’s modulus is required.
![Page 10: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Working with Mastan In order to analyze a structure, you must input it into the program. The relevant components are:
Nodes Elements Connections Sections (Define and Attach) Materials (Define and Attach) Fixities Loads (Only point forces for trusses)

Example Problem: Truss (cont’d) This truss, is made of two kinds of elements. All vertical members are wide flange W203X60
beams (A=7550mm2) made of Structural Steel (E=200GPa).
All other members are wide flange W203X36 beams (A=4570mm2) made of annealed stainless steel (E=190GPa)
![Page 13: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Adding Nodes (rectangular frame) Go to Geometry/Define Frame and enter the
number and width of the bays (4 bays @ 4000mm), the number and height of the stories (1 story at 4000mm), and (for 3D frames) the number and depth of the frames (1) in each box respectively. Hit “Apply.”
![Page 14: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14 Mastan will work with any consistent set of units. We are using kN-mm-MPa.
![Page 15: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Adding Nodes (manual layouts) If you are building anything other than a rectangular frame, you will need to enter each node manually. Go to Geometry/Define Node, and enter the (x,y,z) coordinates of each node in the boxes at the bottom of the screen, pressing “Apply” after each one.
![Page 16: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Subdividing Elements
To add the smaller triangles we can subdivide the existing elements to create new nodes at their midpoints This option is found under the Geometry menu.
As an added note, the Geometry menu gives the options to move or duplicate nodes and reorient elements, should the need arise.
![Page 20: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20 After hitting “Apply” for one set, selecting the next.
![Page 21: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21 Fill in with elements, as shown
![Page 22: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Notes on Material and Sectional Property Sets
Note that elements do not become deselected after you attach the property set to them – you must deselect them yourself.
If you attach a second section or material property set to an element, it will replace the first.
Properties/”Remove Section” or ”Remove Material” deletes the section or material definition, rather than giving you the option to unattach it from one or more elements
As you attach a section or material property set to an element, that element goes from being represented by a dotted line to a dashed one, and then to a solid line once both property sets are attached
![Page 23: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Defining Sectional Properties
Go to Properties/Define Section, and enter your value of A in the boxes at the bottom of the screen, then click “Apply.”
If your structure will be made up of parts with different cross sections, continue to define sections for each one (2 in this case).
![Page 24: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24 Defined the first section, hit “Apply” then define the second section.
![Page 25: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Applying Sectional Properties to Individual Elements Go to Properties/Attach Section Select all of the elements that have the
first cross section Make sure the proper section is selected
in the boxes at the bottom of the screen
Hit “Apply” Continue in this manner until all of your
elements have sectional property sets attached
![Page 26: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26 Attach Section 1 to vertical members after attaching Section 2 to all others
![Page 27: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

29
Applying Material Properties to Individual Elements Go to Properties/Attach Material Select all of the elements that will be
made from that material Make sure the proper section is selected
in the boxes at the bottom of the screen
Hit “Apply.” Continue in this manner until all of your
elements have material property sets attached.
![Page 30: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30 Attach Material 2 to vertical members after attaching Material 1 to all others.
![Page 31: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Defining Conditions
Next, define the conditions under which the structure will be placed, including:
Fixities/boundary conditions/support conditions
Point Loads
![Page 32: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Defining Fixities
Go to Conditions/Fixities. Select one of the nodes that will be attached to
the ground Check the boxes that correspond to the
degrees of freedom that will be restrained. For example, if your structure is simply supported (meaning one end is held in place with a pin joint, the other using a roller along the x-axis), you will check x and y for the first joint, but only y motion for the second joint.
Hit “Apply.”
![Page 33: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33 The structure is simply supported (pin on left, roller on right)
![Page 34: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Applying Point Loads and Moments Under the Conditions menu, select Define
Forces Select the node to which you will apply
the point force Enter the x, and y components of the
force into the boxes at the bottom of the screen.
Hit “Apply.”

Analysis Mastan is capable of many different
types of analyses The data resultant from these analyses
can be displayed as Diagrams, or Numeric results
![Page 37: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Definition: Elastic and Inelastic Behavior Elastic behavior: When a loaded object is
stretched and then the load is removed, the object returns to its original size and shape, much like an elastic band would.
Inelastic behavior: When the load permanently deforms the object, even after it is removed.
We will do elastic analysis
![Page 38: Using Mastan - Trusses](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022082203/586cabff1a28abdf0a8c068e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
1st and 2nd Order Elastic Analyses 1st order analysis assumes that the
displacements are small compared to the size of the structure
2nd order analysis allows for large displacements.
We will do 1st order analysis
