Swiss Re Structure in GSA |
For many years, GSA has been one of the leading PC based packages for structural analysis. Developed by Arup to meet the demanding and diverse requirements of Arup, one of the world's leading firms of international consulting engineers, the proof of GSA's capabilities are proven on thousands of complex and prestigious projects worldwide.
Full on-line program help and logical user interfaces in a familiar environment ensure that minimal learning curves are required. Extensive automated data checking help avoid wasted time caused by errors. |

Spreadsheet style tables complement GSA's powerful and highly intuitive graphical utilities, both to generate the model and to examine the results, enabling easy data manipulation. Whichever way you look at your model, GSA makes it easy for you.
GSA's comprehensive specification enables the engineer's structural analysis and design requirements to be fulfilled within one program, whether you are designing a tall building, an iconic bridge, a deep foundation, or something unusual (for example, GSA has been used for Sculptures). Engineers use GSA throughout the design program, from the initial scheme to the fine detail.
Some of the best structural engineers in the business guide and monitor GSA development and practising engineers drive it forward to ensure that GSA remains focused at the leading edge of structural analysis and design
GSA includes a bi-directional link between Revit Structure and GSA. With this Revit users can transfer model information between Revit and GSA with minimal loss of data."
GSA is designed by engineers, for engineers.
FREE GSA!
You can now use GSA 8.2 for free. The trial version is fully functional for 30-days however when it expires the software will continue to work but with a limited capacity. You are only limited by linear static analysis, 50 nodes or elements, and your imagination! |
Feature Summary
GSA is modularised to enable you to pick and choose only those aspects of the program that you need for your work. If you need to design a simple portal frame or a cutting-edge multi-storey building, GSA has the tools that you need.
GSA Base
GSA Base is the foundation to all the GSA modules. If you need first-order analysis with beams and shells or simple non-linear analysis with struts and ties, then this is the place to start.
GSA Advanced
GSA Advanced moves GSA to a higher plane, giving you full non-linear analysis, whether you need P-Delta, large deflection, modal, buckling or seismic analysis
GSA Bridge
It is often said that bridges are simple structures with complex loads, so let GSA Bridge help you simplify things. GSA Bridge works out for you the critical loading regimes on your structure based on national and international design codes
GSA Fabric
Tensile structures need to be the right shape to resist the applied loads and fabrics are highly non-linear materials; GSA Fabric solves both of these problems for you. From the initial form-finding to the subsequent fabric analysis, GSA Fabric gives you the answers whatever your client's intent.
GSA Footfall
GSA Footfall will analyse your structure to the Arup method (as adopted by the Concrete Centre), the Steel Construction Institute specification, and more. Not only that, but because it analyses which floor areas have high and low responses, you can assist your clients to position sensitive equipment and services. |

GSA Raft
GSA Raft combines GSA with the power of Vdisp, the non-linear soil settlement program from our geotechnical suite to analyse soil-structure interaction. Do not settle for anything less.
GSA RC Slab
Having analysed your flat slab or shear wall, why design the reinforcement by hand? GSA RC Slab designs the reinforcement for you directly from the analysis results, saving you time and money.
GSA Steel
Frame analysis usually requires you to chop your beams and columns up into elements; GSA Steel puts them back together again and designs them to UK and US codes. Make your steel structure work hard, not you.
