# SPACE GASS | ggRhinoSpaceGass

## SPACE GASS Introduction <a href="#spacegass-introduction" id="spacegass-introduction"></a>

​SPACE GASS is a multi-purpose 3D analysis and design program for structural engineers. Its extensive range of features make it suitable for anything from beams, trusses and frames to buildings, towers, tanks, cable structures and bridges. Read more at the Link below:

The Geometry Gym SPACE GASS Plug-in allows for the creation of complex parametric models from Rhino/Grasshopper into SPACE GASS through a SPACE GASS text file input format. It also provides the ability to automate the running of the SPACE GASS Solver from within Grasshopper while directly querying analysis results that can be used for structural engineering calculations.

Features Include:

* Import of SPACE GASS (.txt) into Rhino and Grasshopper
* Define Steel Member Design
* Choose directly from the SPACE GASS Section and Material Library.
* IFC model conversion and Structural Analysis Detection and Healing directly to SPACE GASS input .txt file.

You can download a number of examples here to get you started.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://technical.geometrygym.com/rhino-grasshopper/structuralanalysis/spacegass.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
