GSA

• General Structural Analysis and design

18
GSA 8.2 - Footfall Analysis

• Footfall induced vibration (vertical) in floors
  and stairs
• Arup SCI methods
• Constant or calculated damping for each vibration
  modes

19
GSA 8.2 - Footfall Response of Stair

GSA - Footfall Response Chart Views
21
GSA 8.2 - Harmonic Analysis Option

• Structural responses at steady state under
  harmonic loads
• A frequency range can be given for the same
  harmonic analysis to enable the evaluation of the
  critical harmonic frequency

22
GSA 8.2 - Non-linear spring element

• User defined force/moment displacement/rotation
  curve of springs
• Tension and compression curve can be different

23
GSA 8.2 - Sparse Solver

• New GSS solver option
• Allows much larger models to be analysed than the
  traditional active column solver

24
GSA 8.2 - Constraint Equations

• Allow constraint to be applied to a node (the
  slave) as a function of the displacement of other
  nodes (the masters)
• Constraint equations generalise the constraint
  types in GSA Restraints, Settlements, Joints,
  Rigid Constraints

25
GSA 8.2 Plate Buckling

• Modal buckling of 2D plates

26
GSA 8.2 - Revit Structure link

• GsRevit is a Revit Structure plug-in
• Export from Revit to GSA
• Update Revit model from GSA model
• Import from GSA to Revit

32
GSA 8.2 - New Geometric Entities
A Region with bounding Area, an internal void
Area and Grid Nodes.
33
GSA 8.2 - Region prepared for meshing
A Region with adjacent bounding Areas, internal
Grid Nodes, Lines and Areas, one of which is void.
34
GSA 8.2 - the meshed region
The resulting mesh takes into account the
internal Grid Nodes, Lines and Areas.
