Class A Surfaces (Icem Shape, Automotive class a) is used for all visivle surface. These surfaces have to be C0 (point) C1 (tangent) and C2 (curvature) continues.
GSD is used for the body in white (non visible surfaces, structure) GSD is "mostly" only C0 and C1 continues.

general shape design is a workbench in Catia. where as A class surface is the term used in plastic product Design.
