Streamline your engineering projects and Optimize workflow efficiency with a Multi-Material Structural Analysis and Design Software.
The GSE™ General Structural Engineering is a 3D Multi-Material Analysis and Design software tailored for structural engineering. This robust software is designed to cater to a wide range of construction materials, including Timber, Light-Frame Wood, Steel, Cold-Formed Steel, Reinforced Concrete, Automated Slab and Foundation design, and Aluminum.
This 3D frame analysis software offers intuitive modeling features, comprehensive structural analysis capabilities and powerful design tools. The GSE™ software is user-friendly, easy-to-use and built on a ribbon-based interface, offering a streamlined design element where tools, commands, and options are conveniently organized into tabs and groups for effortless access and navigation.
A structural analysis software for professional engineers.
The GSE™ software offers an integrated, flexible platform for structural engineers, streamlining workflows and optimizing design time with simultaneous multi-material design capabilities.
The GSE™ software features comprehensive state-of-the-art structural analysis methods, including:
• Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) including plates and shell elements
• P-Delta Analysis, Linear and Nonlinear Analysis, Buckling Analysis
• Static Equivalent Seismic Analysis, Seismic and Dynamic Time-History Analysis
• Non-linear analysis using load control and displacement control strategy
• Non-linear springs
• Torsion including restrained warping of open sections
• Linear and exact non-linear cable elements
• Direct Analysis Method (DAM) and the Effective Length Method (kL) for AISC 360
• Frequency and Response Spectrum Analysis
• Possibility to add non-structural components using Spatial Objects and Spatial Loads
• Advanced Section Stress Analysis and Built-up sections, and more analysis features
GSE™ software allows users to animate analysis results, including static, P-Delta, buckling, seismic, and dynamic analyses. This visualization highlights displacements, internal forces, stresses, reactions, mode shapes, and time-history data, offering clear insights into structural behavior.
Animating envelopes focuses on critical regions, simplifying complex data for better decision-making during dynamic events.
GSE™ software offers advanced custom reporting tools, enabling users to create tailored, professional reports with ease. With options to select relevant data, add individual or multiple tables, and customize settings, users can design layouts that meet specific project needs.
Editable titles, table reordering, and predefined templates enhance efficiency, while saved custom layouts streamline future reporting. Reports can be customized and exported to Microsoft Word and Excel, streamlining workflows.
GSE™ software features an intuitive, ribbon-based graphical user interface powered by DirectX 11 and OpenGL 2.0 for enhanced performance. Users can efficiently create, analyze, and design complex models, visualized as lines, wireframes, or 3D solids.
Users benefit from key functionalities such as automated mesh generation, detailed element creation, and transparency options for components like members, plates, surfaces, spatial objects and panels.
The software supports metric, imperial, and mixed unit systems, which can be modified at any time.
GSE™ software offers versatile modeling tools to create any type of structure efficiently. Key features include local coordinate systems, linear or circular construction lines, and automated commands like move, rotate, extrude, and subdivide.
Models can be edited graphically or via spreadsheets, with options for batch or individual element creation. Persistent groups, advanced selection tools, and renumbering options enhance productivity. Attributes can be set graphically or in spreadsheets, and surfaces facilitate load transfer and self-weight calculations.
