MasterSap is a structural analysis program addressed to Civil Engineering applications. For seismic activity areas analysis is particularly simple and immediate.
Following the structural analysis, MasterSap designs and verifies concrete, steel, timber and masonry elements; MasterSap verifies steel joints as well. At the moment code analyses are available for Eurocodes EC2, EC3, EC5, EC6, and EC8.

MasterSap is a program conceived for the analysis, design and drawing generation of Civil Engineering applications. MasterSap allows the user to analyse generically modelled structures through typical framed elements, plates and shells.

The analysis can be static or dynamic and it determines the deformations or stress stage in the structure as well as the ground reactions. The results are processed to design and verify concrete, steel, timber and masonry elements. For steel applications MasterSap verifies steel joints as well. Procedures for automated, personalized drawings of concrete are also provided.

The user operates in a 3D environment through a Windows type interface. It is possible to start the model through traditional commands, even though using a 3D or 2D drawing will turn out to be more efficient: in fact the structural geometry will automatically be recognized.

In the case of buildings it is normal to acquire a plan that allows the user to recognize and extrude the vertical elements (columns and beams). For more articulated structures, such as lattice works, it is more common to start from the whole 3D format.

Advanced and competitive meshing functions for surface elements are available.
