Single Span PSC Box Girder with Construction Stages in MIDAS CIVIL NX

✏️Session Overview

This MIDAS Academy hands-on training walks you through the complete modelling of a single-span prestressed concrete (PSC) box girder bridge in MIDAS CIVIL NX — from the first section definition to the final design checks.

You will also step into the automation side of CIVIL NX: instead of building everything by hand, see how the Bridge Wizards — such as the FSM Bridge Wizard for PSC box girders — generate the girder geometry, sections, tendons and construction stages from a handful of parameters, and how to take that model all the way to verified results.

• Automating model generation with CIVIL NX Bridge Wizards
• Defining the PSC box section and the tendon layout
• Construction stage analysis with creep, shrinkage and relaxation
• Reading stage-by-stage results and running PSC design checks

Join us and see how automation and construction stage analysis come together in real PSC bridge design.

👀This Session Helps You If You’re

• A bridge or structural engineer working on prestressed concrete girders
• Looking to cut repetitive modelling time with wizards and automation
• Needing construction stage analysis as part of your design workflow
• Wanting to check PSC sections with more confidence and accuracy

📝Learning Objectives

• Generate a PSC box girder model with a CIVIL NX Bridge Wizard and understand what it creates
• Define the deck geometry and build the prestressed box girder section
• Set up tendon profiles and properties, and apply prestress loads
• Create construction stages and capture creep, shrinkage and relaxation
• Interpret stage-by-stage results and run PSC design checks on critical sections
