2 master SERIES MasterSeries PowerPad is a complete structural analysis and design suite and is the ideal choice for those who require a wide range of capabilities at an extremely affordable price. PowerPad can be thought of as a MasterSeries Lite system incorporating the following core MasterSeries programs. MasterKey Concrete Beam Designer (3 spans) MasterKey Timber Beam Designer (3 spans) Programs limited to basic design features: MasterBeam Composite Design MasterKey Masonry Design MasterKey Retaining Walls MasterRC Pile Cap Designer (2 Pile, Pile Cap) Programs limited at printing time only: MasterKey Moment Connections MasterKey Simple Connections Ground Beam Grillage Analysis Programs limited by number of members only: MasterFrame (100 members) MasterPort (15 members/3 spans) MasterKey Integrated Steel Design (15/100 members) MasterKey Integrated Concrete Design (15/100 members) MasterKey Steel Beam Designer (3 spans) Full feature programs with no limitations: MasterKey Independent Steel Design MasterKey Independent Concrete Column and Pad Design MasterKey Concrete Slab Design MasterKey Independent Timber Design MasterSeries Office Tools (export to Word) By bundling the above programs together in MasterSeries PowerPad, you will be able to use 2

3 well-established, user-friendly programs at less than a third of their full list price. PowerPad enables you to create a single Word document incorporating all your calculations, results from various MasterSeries programs, comments, quotes, drawings and sketches. You can send or the document anywhere in the world for immediate access by other personnel involved in the same design project. POWERPAD, POWERPAD PLUS AND POWERPAD GOLD PowerPad is available in three versions to cater for your specific needs offering you more choice and better value. PowerPad basic entry level system with 100 member frame analysis and integrated steel and concrete design for frames containing up to 15 members. PowerPadPlus increases the integrated steel and concrete design limits from 15 members to 100 members. master SERIES PowerPadGold allows you to two of the PowerPadPlus modules to their full versions, one from group 1 and another from group 2. Concrete Design in MasterFrame The wide range of MasterSeries analysis and design programs contained within PowerPad is staggering. It contains what effectively is a complete design office. PowerPad has done away with my previous irregular mixture of calculation output from different sources, and put everything into one superbly produced design report. Keith Davis, Forbridge Ltd, West Midlands Timber Beam Design UPGRADE PATH You can be assured that your PowerPad system will never become redundant, as it can easily be expanded as your needs increase. As a PowerPad user you will be entitled to substantial discounts on upgrading your MasterSeries suite of programs.
