Introduction to GSD
General Section Designer (GSD)
In Gen 2011 (v1.1), a new module General Section Designer or GSD has been added.

Definition of any Irregular cross-section.

Calculation of Section Properties. Generation of P-M, P-My-Mz, M-M interaction curves. Calculation of Section Capacity in flexure.
Calculation of Safety Ratio based on the member forces.

Generation of Moment-Curvature curve. Plot of Stress Contours for all the cross-section. All the above features are supported for

- One pattern of rebars denote a group of rebars. Rebars of a pattern cant be treated individually. Any modification in the rebar data in a pattern is applied to all the rebars of that pattern. - If we want to modify the data of a single rebar, at first the pattern of the rebar should be changed to Point Pattern.
Change Pattern
Model > Rebar > Rebar-Perimeter Pattern
Place the rebars around the outer perimeter with a concrete cover defined by the user. 1 Select to change all the pattern to Point Pattern. 2 Select to change a particular pattern to Point Pattern. After changing to Point Pattern, open the Rebar table of Point Pattern from the Works-Tree by right click. Any data in the rebar table can be edited.
