In order have moments and forces to export it is necessary to first carry out an analysis is the structure. This will normally be a simple static analysis with one analysis case corresponding to each load case (although the analysis cases can be made up of more than one load case). The analysis cases should not combine dead, imposed and wind loading with appropriate factors for ULS as this combination is carried out when extracting the results to export.

The RC beam layouts specify the parameters which control the placing of bars in a beam. In GSA there is a distinction between a layout which offers parameters to determine an arrangement which is a specific set of bars at given positions. The design of an RC beam will replace the current reinforcement in a section with a new arrangement that is selected based on the parameters specified for the layout.
