An example idealisation of nodes and members for a two-dimensional structure is shown below. Nodes should be located at joints, where member properties change, at restraint (or support) locations, or where the direction of the longitudinal axis of the member changes. Basic Modelling Concepts The structure must first be idealised and modelled by nodes located in space and connected by elements (or members) with defined properties. As you develop your knowledge of Space Gass, the use of the graphical interface allows you to avoid the use of the datasheets, and offers a considerable time saving in modelling. Space Gass also provides a powerful graphical interface.

The input for analysis is entered through a series of datasheets. It is suitable for many materials such as steel, concrete and timber, as well as any combination of materials used together in the same structure.
It has the ability to analyse all types of frame structures including space frames, space trusses, plane frames, plane trusses, grillages and continuous beams. General Description Space Gass is a three-dimensional structural frame analysis package comprising of beam elements.
