Title: Custom Reporting
Date: Thursday 02 July
Time: 3 hours (6am-9am BST) & (2pm-5pm BST)
Host: Sam Webster
Session Details:
Custom reporting is a powerful yet somewhat underutilised piece of functionality allowing MASTA users to streamline their workflow by creating completely customised report and editor formats. See exactly the input or results fields you want in the exact format you want to see them. Plus, easily share these formats with other users to ensure consistency in MASTA usage.
This workshop aims to familiarise MASTA users with the custom reporting capabilities of MASTA by taking you through several worked examples of increasing complexity. Together, we will:
- Take a detailed look at the reporting and editor interfaces, capabilities and options.
- Design reports showing overall model summaries, detailed component inputs and reports for specialised applications.
- Analysis reports looking at system overviews, detailed component results and the creation of reports for the direct comparison of results between analysis settings (in this case, 1 report providing a comparative glimpse of gear results for System Deflection, Basic LTCA and Advanced LTCA).
- Export and import these report formats for simple streamlining of data between MASTA users.
- Take a brief look at how the reporting functionality can be used in conjunction with MASTA’s scripting capabilities to hand even more power to the transmission designer.
Suitable for:
- Some previous MASTA use is required to get the most out of this workshop. At minimum, users should be able to create simple models and obtain results using pre-existing report and editor formats.
Duration:
3 hours

Title: Preparing to Script Using MASTA (Support Session)
Date: Tuesday 14 July
Time: 2 hours (8am-10am BST) & (2pm-4pm BST)
Session Details:
This session is aimed at preparing users scripting environments prior to the commencement of the Scripting series of MASTA Training Workshops.
Documentation will be provided in advance of the session detailing steps required to set up the scripting environments for each language and to get the most out of our workshops. Users are advised to review the documentation, and ensure that:
- A preferred language has been selected (If you currently do not have a preferred language, we highly recommend viewing of the “Scripting in MASTA: Which Programming Language Should I Choose?” webinar. As general guidance, SMT would suggest the use of Python).
- Required software has been installed
Duration:
SMT will be available within this 2 hour session to assist with the preparation of scripting environments, however due to expected numbers we will NOT have the resources to take each user through step by step.
Please use this time to follow the documentation on step by step environment setup (to be provided) and engage with SMT staff if any issues are experienced.
DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, SMT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FACILITATE SCRIPTING ENVIRONMENT SET UP IN ANY OF THE SUBSEQUENT SCRIPTING WORKSHOPS.

Time: 3 hours (6am – 9am BST) & (2pm – 5pm BST)
Session Details:
This is a presentation heavy workshop aimed at providing participants with the basic knowledge required to sucessfully script in MASTA. This will consist of topics such as;
- What is scripting and who can use it
- Example use cases
- MASTA’s scripting interface
- Visual Studio Code interface
- Scripted properties
- External scripts
- Debugging
- MASTA’s API
- General tips

Title: MASTA API Training (Using Python)
Date: Tuesday 21 July
Time: Maximum 3 hours (6am – 9am BST) & (2pm – 5pm BST)
Session Details:
Please note: You will be restricted to using Python as a programming language for this workshop. API training will be provided using Jupytr notebooks within Visual Studio Code and using the Python language. The navigation of the MASTA API is largely identical between all programming languages, so even if Python is not your language of choice you may still find this workshop beneficial.
This workshop is geared towards familiarising users with the MASTA API by constructing a script broken into small, controlled sections. Users are encouraged to write scripts alongside the demo by the SMT team, with frequent pauses to answer any questions that have arisen or address any issues.
