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 primary
	Create material	Create a Standard material by reference to existing type and grade. Note: At the time, this component can only reference standard materials already existing in a model.
	Custom material	Create a Custom analysis material.
	Create section	Create a Section. Section properties (PB) are used by Element1D and Member1D.
	Create 2D property	Create a 2D property. 2D properties (PA) are used by Element2D and Member2D.
	Create 3D property	Create a 3D property. 3D properties (PV) are used by Element3D and Member3D.
Create Secondary
	Create Bool6	Create Bool6 to set releases and restraints.
	Create offset	Create an Offset. Offsets can be applied to local axis of Element1D, Element2D, Member1D and Member2D.
	Create profile	Create a Profile text string used for a Section. A Profile is a text string like STD R 500 250 and this component assists in creating a correct string for various profiles types, including catalogue section profiles.
	Create section modifier	Create a Section modifier used to modify the properties of a Section.
	Taper profile	Create a Profile text string for a Section that is tapered along its length (local x-axis), like STD R 500 250 : 400 200. The start and end profiles must be from the same type.
Info and edit
	Edit material	Edit a Material to set or retrieve Analysis Property ID, Material Type, and Material Grade properties.
	Edit section	Edit a Section to set or retrieve ID, Profile, Material, Section modifier, Pool, Name, and Colour properties.
	Edit 2D property	Edit a 2D Property to set or retrieve ID, Material, Thickness, Axis, Name, and Colour properties.
	Edit 3D property	Edit a 3D Property to set or retrieve ID, Material, Axis, Name, and Colour properties.
	Edit section modifier	Edit a Section modifier to set or retrieve modifiers for Area, I11, I22, J, K11, K22, Volume, as well as Add.Mass and other properties.
	Edit Bool6	Edit a Bool6 to set or retrieve X, Y, Z, XX, YY, and ZZ fixed or released boolean.
	Edit offset	Edit an Offset to set or retrieve X1, X2, Y, and Z distances.
Get properties
	Material properties	Get a Custom analysis material's Elastic Modulus, Poisson's Ratio', Density, and Thermal Expansion values.
	Section properties	Get a Section or Profile's Area, Moment of Intertia, Torsion Constant, Shear Area Factor, and Surface Area/Length and Volume/Length values.
