A graphical summary of the new features in this version may be viewed in the GSA 8.5 New Features presentation (3MB. For more details of all the changes in GSA 8.5, refer to the GSA Change Log. What's New in GSA 8.4. Key new features. Piled Raft Analysis extending the existing raft analysis capability to include pile-soil interaction. Bridge load optimisation analysis to Eurocode and update to Australian code. Environmental Impact allowing the assignment of environmental impact cost to materials to provide a total environmental cost of the structure. Data is provided to suggest appropriate values for the material type, grade and country. Tied Interfaces A tied interface constrains a list of slave elements to act as if connected to a list of master elements. A typical use of a tied interface is to zip together adjacent areas of 2D element mesh. Batch saving of views allowing several saved views to be saved to file in one operation. Explicit entity colour definition allowing colours to be assigned to elements, properties, materials, and stages.
