What's New in GSA 8.4 ?
Key new features:
- Piled Raft Analysis — extending the existing raft analysis capability to include pile-soil interaction.
- Bridge load optimisation analysis to Eurocode — and update to Australian code.
- Environmental Impact — allowing the assignment of environmental impact cost to materials to provide a total environmental cost of the structure. Data is provided to suggest appropriate values for the material type, grade and country.
- Tied Interfaces — A tied interface constrains a list of slave elements to act as if connected to a list of master elements. A typical use of a tied interface is to zip together adjacent areas of 2D element mesh.
- Batch saving of views — allowing several saved views to be saved to file in one operation.
- Explicit entity colour definition — allowing colours to be assigned to elements, properties, materials, and stages.
A graphical summary of the new features in this version may be viewed in the GSA 8.4 New Features PowerPoint presentation.
