SPACE GASS 14.25: Comprehensive Software for Structural Engineering

SPACE GASS 14.25 is a powerful, integrated structural analysis and design software used by civil and structural engineers to model, analyze, and design a wide range of structures. It supports the design of 3D frames, trusses, shear walls, and plate/shell elements in steel, concrete, timber, and other materials, providing a versatile tool for building, bridge, and industrial projects.

Core Function: Integrated Analysis & Design Workflow
The software’s primary function is to provide a seamless environment where engineers build a 3D structural model, apply loads (dead, live, wind, seismic, thermal), perform linear and nonlinear analyses, and then automatically design and code-check members according to international standards. This integrated workflow ensures that the final design is directly validated against the analysis results.

Key Analysis & Design Capabilities:

1. Advanced Analytical Engine

  • Linear & Nonlinear Analysis: Performs static, dynamic, buckling, and nonlinear analysis (P-Delta, geometric nonlinearity) to accurately predict structural behavior.

  • Dynamic & Seismic Analysis: Includes response spectrum and time history analysis for seismic design, as well as calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes.

  • Finite Element Analysis: Supports plate and shell elements for modeling floor slabs, shear walls, and complex surfaces.

2. Comprehensive Design & Code Checking

  • Steel Design: Performs code checks per AS 4100, AISC 360, Eurocode 3, designing members for axial, bending, shear, and combined actions. Includes connection design capabilities.

  • Concrete Design: Designs reinforced concrete beams, columns, and slabs per AS 3600, ACI 318, Eurocode 2, calculating reinforcement requirements.

  • Composite Steel-Concrete Design: Designs composite beams and columns according to relevant standards.

  • Timber & Cold-Formed Steel Design: Includes design modules for timber (AS 1720) and cold-formed steel members.

3. Modeling & Load Generation

  • Intuitive 3D Modeler: Includes graphical tools for quick generation of complex 3D frames, grids, and surfaces.

  • Automatic Load Generation: Automatically generates wind loads (to various codes), notional horizontal loads, and floor area loads to streamline the loading process.

4. Results & Documentation

  • Detailed Results & Reports: Provides comprehensive output of deflections, reactions, member forces, stresses, and design details. Generates customizable design calculation reports.

  • Graphical Visualization: Offers advanced visualization of deformed shapes, mode shapes, stress contours, and load paths.
