What are the available products in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench?

The Generative Structural Analysis workbench includes the following products:

GPS: Generative Part Structural Analysis (P2)
Addresses transparent and automatic stress and vibration analysis for parts, integrating simulation and design specifications, with the core application of V5 analysis.

EST: ELFINI Structural Analysis (P2)
Performs advanced pre, post processing and solving with complementary analysis options.

GAS: Generative Assembly Structural Analysis (P2)
Addresses transparent, integrated and automatic stress and vibration analysis for assemblies of parts integrating simulation and design specifications.

GDY: Generative Dynamic Response Analysis (P2)
Gives access to the functionalities of dynamic computations.
