GSA  Benefits

 

 

Advanced interface

Manage and interact with the model

 

Modelling tools

Text, graphical and automatic creation of geometry and loads

 

3rd party links

Integrate GSA with BIM and other 3rd party products

 

Nonlinear elements

Compression-only struts, tension-only ties, non-linear springs, and cables

 

Nonlinear materials

Elastic-Orthotropic and Elastic-Plastic Isotropic materials

 

2D elements

Plane Stress, Plane Strain, Flat Plate, Flat Shell elements

 

Linear analysis

1st order static analysis

 

Staged analysis

Add, remove, and change elements and constraints within analyses

 

P-Delta analysis

Analyse for the changes in stiffness caused by load

 

Non-linear analysis     

Analyse for geometric and material non-linearity over large deflections

 

Dynamic analysis

Modal and Ritz analysis, including P-Delta effects

 

Dynamic response
