Moment & Simple Connections

The MasterKey: Moment and Simple Connections provides an integrated, interactive steel connection design environment for the simple and moment resisting connections in accordance with the British Standard BS 5950 and Eurocode BS EN 1993-1-8, and in line with the UK best practice guidance as presented in the SCI 'Green Book' publications. The MasteryKey: Moment and Simple Connections module can be used as a standalone module, where the connection geometry and forces can be manually input to create the required connection, or linked to a Masterframe model, in which case the connection geometry and forces input is carried out automatically, based on the Masterframe model and analysis results. For connections based on a Masterframe model, the software provides an option to 'unlink' the connection, so as to allow the user to modify both the connection geometry and forces independently of the Masterframe model.
