Export : AdSec

This exports section data for design in AdSec (opens new window).

The GSA model must contain either concrete beam or column members for this option to work. If results are present forces and moment can be extracted from these and set as loads in AdSec. If members are chosen, one file is created for each member. For beam members three sections are exported (left, middle and right) and for columns a single section is exported.

The following restrictions apply:

• The export may fail if materials are not specified as concrete or steel.
• The combination cases must contain only a single permutation.
• The design code in GSA may at time be unsupported in AdSec leading to a failure to read the file.
