GSA 🧮

Oasys GSA's Grasshopper plugin works well with ArupCompute.

This example script demonstrates the following process:

1. Open an existing GSA model ⭐

2. Get the base reaction forces

3. Calculate utilisations of pile caps (using DesignCheck's Two-pile pile cap check). Note how any errors and warnings are displayed.

tip

The ArupCompute component has turned orange in this instance because one of the calculations that has been undertaken has returned a warning. This helps ensure that errors / warnings / remarks in large batches of calculations are not misssed.

4. Draw pile caps colour coded by utilisation

5. Create a PDF report of the worst-case pile cap. Note how the script is setup so that the computationally expensive report generation is only carried out for the worst case pile cap.

⭐ There's a lot more functionality to GSA's Grasshopper plugin, with this part being kept simple as the aim of this example is to demonstrate the use of ArupCompute.
