Bridge Design & Analysis Software User-Friendly GUIThe user-oriented input/output functions are based on a sophisticated and intuitive User Interface and up-to-date Computer Graphics techniques. They offer excellent facilities and productivity for the modeling and analysis of different types of bridge structures. |
Bridge Design & Analysis Software
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. The Bridge Wizards can create a complete bridge model for you in a blink of an eye and you are able to make any modification to the model to match with the real structure as much as possible. Other modeling approaches such as CAD import, table format modeling, and code format modeling are also available.
Bridge Design & Analysis Software
midas Civil provides linear and nonlinear structural analysis capabilities and is capable of handling different types of analysis. The program’s efficient analysis algorithms yield exceptional versatility and accurate results appropriate for practical design applications.
Bridge Design & Analysis Software
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.
Bridge Design & Analysis Software
midas Civil has powerful design code checking and load rating features. AASHTO LRFD & LRFR, CHBDC CSA, EUROCODE, and other codes are available. The codes are constantly updated to make sure the users can best take advantage of the code checking and rating features in the program. The automatic report generation features give the users an organized and detailed report that includes formulas and code references and it gives the users the confidence in their result.
What do you like best?Midas lends a much convenient approach towards design and analysis of structures. The user-friendly interface saves ample time. That is wasted on other platforms by searching for different commands.
What do you like best?The features I like most are1. Very good GUI, easy to work2. You can change stiffness factors of an element for certain load cases.3. Can convert critical moving load case in to static load case for a element

How to Perform Time-dependent Analysis?
Mainly there are two ways to perform the time-dependent analysis. One is the time-step analysis and the other is the age-adjusted method. The age-adjusted method is a simplified one and can consider the long-term effects with only a one-step analysis. Of course, this is an approximate way to consider
Influence line analysis is essential for bridge design. Classical influence line theory for continuous girders goes back to Müller-Breslau in the late 18th century. Currently, iterative analysis is commonly used since this method is rather simple to implement with the displacement methods. Both methods give the same results and we can use either of these methods.
How to Model the Girder and Deck Connection in Composite Bridge?
With the help of Tarcisio Barreto Celestino and Antonio Bobet, our MIDAS Expert Osvaldo Paiva Magalhães Vitali took on a new approach using midas GTS NX on tunnels with complex ground and loading conditions. In their recent...
