midas Civil is a 3D FEM (Finite-Element Method) engineering software for the design of bridges and civil structures. It features a distinctively user friendly interface and optimal design solution functions that can account for construction stages and time dependent properties. Its highly developed modeling and analysis functions enable engineers to overcome common challenges and inefficiencies of finite element analysis. With midas Civil, you will be able to create high quality designs with unprecedented levels of efficiency and accuracy.
Features:
-
- User-friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface)
- The user-oriented input/output functions are based on sophisticated and intuitive User Interface and up-to-date Computer Graphics techniques. They offer excellent facilities and productivity for the modeling and analysis of complex, large-scale structures.
-
- Intuitive Modeling
- midas Civil enables us to readily create nodes and elements as if we were drawing drawings using the major functions of CAD programs.
Powerful automatic modeling functions such as Auto Mesh Generation and various Bridge Wizards are introduced. Once the basic section and bridge information and tendon placement data for the case of a PSC bridge are provided, the Wizard creates the completed bridge model as well as the construction stage models. -
- Complete Analysis Options
- midas Civil provides linear and nonlinear structural analysis capabilities.
A large collection of finite elements has been implemented for applications in civil and building structures. The program’s efficient analysis algorithms yield exceptional versatility and accurate results appropriate for practical design applications. -
- Powerful Post-Processor
- The post-processor can automatically create load combinations in accordance with specified design standards.
Changing the type of display can produce various forms of graphic output. Practically all the results can be animated, namely, mode shapes, time history results of displacements and member forces, dynamic analysis results and static analysis results.
midas Civil also provides results that are compatible with MS Excel, which enables the user to review all analysis and design results systematically. -
- Auto Design and Load Rating
- Midas Civil provides various design check and load rating features including:
- Eurocode & AASHTO LRFDBending, shear & torsional strengths
- Composite plate girder design
- Member forces & stresses for each construction stage and max & min stress summations
- Automatic generation of load combinations in accordance with various design codes
- MS Excel format calculation report
About FEM (Finite-Element Method)
The Finite-Element Method (FEM) is a computational method/technique developed by engineers used to obtain an approximate solution to engineering problems. Finite element breaks a complex problem into simpler problem and uses a mathematical glue to join the solutions.
An engineer designing a bridge will need to know how the proposed structure will behave under load. The equations describing the distribution of structural stresses are known but they can’t be directly solved for a complicated shape such as a bridge. However the equations can be solved for very simple shapes like triangles or rectangles. The finite element method takes advantage of this fact. We replace the single complicated shape with an approximately equivalent network of simple elements. The overall pattern of elements is referred to as the finite element mesh. And this pattern will be unique to each new problem. The initial step is to design this mesh. And for this we must first decide what kind of elements will use.
