Differential Modelling in MASTA

01 September 2021
1pm – 2pm (BST)

Sam Webster – Technical Trainer

Differential Modelling in MASTA

Our September webinar tackles the topic of differential modelling in MASTA.

At SMT, we pride ourselves in providing a user-friendly transmission modelling and analysis experience. However, the complexity of a differential unit means the modelling process can cause some confusion.

Join us in this one hour webinar, where we will walk through the modelling process, with an example bevel differential unit.

We will discuss:

Manual construction of bevel differential units
Utilising existing example model guides
Replacing differential components with FE

It is recommended that you already have some MASTA model building experience to get the most out of this webinar.
