# Analysis
Different element types and analysis types are available in GSA. The types of analysis may be limited or modified by the elements selected.
# Analysis Task
Analysis in GSA is organised in tasks. So a linear static analysis or a modal dynamic analysis would each be a single task.
# Analysis Case
Each analysis task consists of one or more analysis cases. For static analysis the analysis cases are closely associated with load cases, while for a modal dynamic analysis the analysis cases are associated with modes and frequencies.
