Description
In this session, Parth Akbari, Bridge Engineer at MIDAS IT Australia, introduces the General Section Designer module within MIDAS CIVIL NX — covering its purpose, scope, and practical application for section capacity assessment to AS 5100.5.
Parth walks through the full workflow live in the software: defining a section, applying rebar and load combinations, and generating P–M interaction curves in line with AS 5100.5:17. The session also covers moment–curvature behaviour, including non-linear material properties, and demonstrates how to review stress contour results across both cracked and uncracked sections.
