SPACE GASS for students is a 3D analysis and design program for structural engineers. If you’re an engineering student, it’s about to make your life so much easier. Its impressive range of features opens up a world of possibilities for your designs. Here’s how to get SPACE GASS for students.
What can you do with SPACE GASS?
Analyse, design, and model 2D and 3D structures from beams and trusses to high rise buildings and bridges. From small jobs to large modelling projects, it’s all possible. Standard features include graphical input, polar coordinates, elastic supports, pin-ended members, tension-only members, rigid member offsets, moving loads, and non-linear analysis.
The benefits of SPACE GASS for students
You have everything you need at your fingertips
You can zoom, pan, or rotate your design while being able to display it in wireframe, outline, or fully rendered modes. There are toolbar buttons where your most used commands will be on display and an easy to navigate menu that makes using SPACE GASS super intuitive. You will be able to see all your changes visually as you go.
There are a tonne of graphic tools at your disposal
A great set of graphic tools lets you input or edit structure, load, and design data graphically. Tools include draw, rotate, mirror, interest, merge, zoom, scale, redraw, and much more.
Prefer a spreadsheet? No problem!
If you need to display data in a spreadsheet rather than in graphic form, spreadsheet input is possible. Called Datasheet Input within SPACE GASS, it allows you to create material libraries and more.
You get second to none support
For each screen you’re working on, there is context sensitive help available and there’s also a comprehensive user manual included. Add to that in-depth video tutorials and top notch human support should you get stuck.
It’s very user-friendly
As well as being easy to learn and use, you can share SPACE GASS for students between multiple computers and there’s no need for an internet connection.
How much does SPACE GASS for students cost?
SPACE GASS for students is completely free for current engineering students. The important thing to note is that you’re only permitted to use it for your studies and projects. If you use it for commercial purposes, you are technically breaking the law.
The student version has most of the features of the full commercial version, however the difference is the student version expires after the end of the academic year. If you want to continue using it, you’ll need to renew it for another year.
