GSE™ Key Features - Aluminum
Supported design codes
• American AA ADM-2020 (ASD and LRFD)
• American AA ADM-2015 (ASD and LRFD)
• Canadian CSA S157
Supported shapes
• Standard shapes and parametric shapes (over 30 shapes available) including angles and polygonal tubes are supported
• Comprehensive library of standard aluminum grades
Design parameters
• Several design parameters can be calculated by the program
Aluminum structural analysis
• P-Delta and Non-Linear analysis, Seismic Static, Seismic Spectral and Dynamic analysis
Redesign command
• The Redesign command allows to test different solutions without requiring to run the analysis each time
Aluminum verifications
• Classification, resistance and stability computations performed according to the specified aluminum standard
• Calculation of Compression, Tension, Bending, Compression-Bending, Tension-Bending, Shear, Torsion and warping, Slenderness
Combined resistance
• Calculation of combined resistance of aluminum elements based on the results of a linear, P-Delta, non-linear, seismic or dynamic analysis
• All parameters required to calculate the resistance of the elements such as unbraced lengths, buckling lengths, buckling factors, welding, slenderness limit and others can be customized either graphically or from spreadsheets
Limit states
• Displayed graphically on the 3D model through color representation or presented numerically in spreadsheets and reports
Welds
• The program distinguishes two types of welds: End welds and In-span welds
• Each of these types of welds may be full (affecting the entire cross section) or partial (affecting a portion of the
cross section)
Executive reports
• Customizable, user-friendly, and exhaustive report generation in multiple formats including Word document and Excel worksheet
• Generate executive report summary by printing the results for only the critical load combination
