Solid Foundations for Mastering Structural Principles
Compact study equipment featuring rugged design for the classroom and designed for benchtop use.

Structures Overview
The Structures range from Matrix has eleven kits to cover teaching of the most commonly taught principles of structures across college and university level education.
These kits are applicable to both mechanical and civil engineering disciplines.
Each kit features a sturdy metal work panel equipped with removable legs, a carrying handle, and a moulded plastic cover. When not in use, the legs can be attached to the back of the panel, and the cover fits over the front, providing a compact and protective storage solution.

Designed for the Classroom
Each kit features a sturdy metal work panel equipped with removable legs, a carrying handle, and a moulded plastic cover.
When not in use, the legs can be attached to the back of the panel, and the cover fits over the front, providing a compact and protective storage solution.

Software
The Structures software identifies nodes in the product and provides a real-time data feed. Students can select their specific product, input experiment parameters, and view a dynamic graph displaying node data.
The x-axis can show displacement or weight increments. Graph data can be saved for post-processing via export or right-click.

Structures Solutions
The experimental components are rugged and designed to stand up to the challenges of an educational lab.
Connection to a PC is through a simple USB, meaning users can export data from their experiments to Excel for analysis and simulation. Power is provided through the PC connection or through connection to a simple wall plug.
Each work panel is also supplied with built-in LCD’s which are connected to an on-board controller and provide the user with a manual method of collecting results from their experiments.
