GSA integrates with Oasys Compos to carry out detailed design of steel-concrete composite beams. With GSA and Compos, you can follow a seamless workflow from a whole building model in GSA to detailed, per-beam calculations in Compos.
The available design parameters depend on the material type.
For design to work, it is necessary for Member definitions to be complete and consistent. The recommended approach for creating a GSA model is to define members first, and then to create elements from them. This approach is also more efficient when coordinating the GSA model with a BIM model. The Create elements from members tool (under Model > Coordination menu) generates elements from Members.
Running a Design task produces the following results and output
Various menu items are available to assist you in the construction and maintenance of design models. These are accessible from the Model > Coordination menu:
