WARNING

GSA-Grasshopper plugin [GsaGH] is pre-release and under active development, including further testing to be undertaken. It is provided "as-is" and you bear the risk of using it. Future versions may contain breaking changes. Any files, results, or other types of output information created using GsaGH should not be relied upon without thorough and independent checking.

Components

Component	Name	Description
Create new
	Create Support	Create a support Node from a Grasshopper Point3d with Bool6 restraint properties.
	Create 1D Element	Create an Element1D from a Grasshopper Line and optional Section ID or Section.
	Create 2D Element	Create an Element2D from a Grasshopper Mesh and optional Property ID or 2D Property.
	Create 1D Member	Create a Member1D from a Grasshopper Curve, optional Section ID or Section and set the start and end releases.
	Create 2D Member	Create a Member2D from a planar Grasshopper Brep and optional Property ID or 2D Property, along with any inclusion Point3ds and Curves, and desired Mesh Size.
	Create 3D Member	Create a Member3D from a closed Grasshopper Brep and optional Property ID or 3D Property.
Info and Edit
	Edit Node	Edit a Node to set or retrieve Node number (ID), Position Point3d, Local Axis (Plane), Restraints (Bool6), Name, and Colour properties.
	Edit 1D Element	Edit an Element1D to set or retrieve Element number (ID), Line, Section, Group, Element Type, Offset, Start release (Bool6), End release (Bool6), Orientation Angle, Orientation Node, Name, Colour, Dummy, Parent Member (get only) and Topology (get only) properties.
	Edit 2D Element	Edit an Element2D to set or retrieve Element number (ID), Mesh (get only), 2D Property, Group, Element Type (get only), Offset, Name, Colour, Dummy, Parent Member (get only) and Topology (get only) properties.
	Edit 3D Element	Edit an Element3D to set or retrieve Element number (ID), Ngon Mesh (get only), 3D Property, Group, Element Type (get only), Name, Colour, Dummy, Parent Member (get only) and Topology (get only) properties.
	Edit 1D Member	Edit a Member1D to set or retrieve Member number (ID), Curve, Section, Group, Member Type, Element Type, Offset, Start release (Bool6), End release (Bool6), Orientation Angle, Orientation Node, Mesh Size, Mesh With Other, Name, Colour, Dummy, and Topology (get only) properties.
	Edit 2D Member	Edit a Member2D to set or retrieve Member number (ID), Planar Brep, Inclusion Point3ds, Inclusion Curves, 2D Property, Group, Member Type, Element Type, Offset, Mesh Size, Mesh With Other, Name, Colour, Dummy, and Topology (get only) properties.
	Edit 3D Member	Edit a Member3D to set or retrieve Member number (ID), Solid Brep, 3D Property, Mesh Size, Mesh With Other, Name, Group, Colour, Dummy, and Topology (get only) properties.
Additional methods
	Create Elements from Members	This component will "ReMesh" the input Members by creating the analysis elements. This corrosponds to the Create Elements From Members command in GSA.
	Element2d from Brep	Create Element2D analysis mesh directly from a (non-planar) Brep. Note: This component is work-in-progress and will internally try to unroll a non-planar surface, do the meshing, remap the mesh onto the original surface's UV points.
	Local Axis	Get the local axis from Element1D or Member1D.
