Overview

Going beyond MIDAS CIVIL.

MIDAS CIVIL NX is a versatile software for structural analysis and design. It provides key simulation features for both bridges and CIVIL structures, including static analysis, construction stage analysis, moving load analysis, seismic analysis, and more. These capabilities extend beyond bridges and are essential for simulating a wide range of CIVIL structures in various projects such as  reinforced concrete bridges, pre-stressed concrete bridges, box-girder bridges, underground structures, superstructures, and more.

 

 

Key Points

In this webinar we cover some of new advantages of MIDAS CIVIL NX. 

MIDAS CIVIL NX offers a user-friendly working environment by incorporating the latest graphic engine and completely revamping the user interface. It also significantly improves post-processing performance, allowing analysis results and reports to be generated faster than MIDAS CIVIL, thereby greatly increasing work productivity.

 

It expands its possibilities through Plug-Ins, which enhance the capabilities of MIDAS CIVIL NX when facing complex modeling and design tasks. With the integration of API in CIVIL NX the design engineer can now use the automation system tailored to his own specific needs. Also, special integrations through dedicated add-ins are provided with the most popular software used by structural engineers for the design automation, like MS Excel, Grasshopper and others.

 

It also facilitates the analysis of complex structural behavior both during construction and after completion, taking into account the time-dependent properties of materials. It provides visualizations of structural systems at each stage of the construction process.

Agenda
  • Part 1
    (10 mins)

    Introduction 1. Overview of the webinar

    2. Introducing Post-tensioned Pre-stressed Bridges
    - Why do we use prestressing?
    - Main characteristics of PSC decks – size of members and the ratio of pre-stressed steel in the cross-section
    - General principals for the Layout of the high-strength reinforcement

  • Part 2
    (25 mins)

    Presentation Model Description and Definition using Plug-in

    1. Creating the geometry of the deck according to Eurocode 1992-1
    - Sections and material properties definition
    - Plan modelling of the curved girder with the Plug-in “Alignment Generator”
    - Setting constant boundary conditions corresponding to curvature
    2. Consideration of the Construction Stages
    - Linking the model according to Construction Stages
    3. Pre-Stressing Load definition
    - Tendon arrangement using the Plug-in “Tendon Profile”
    - Pre-Stress load according to stages
    4. Live Load definition

  • Part 3
    (25 mins)

    Presentation Results Analysis

    1. Overview of Prestress Tendon Losses in calculation results
    2. Checking structure at SLS with the PSC Design module according to EC 1992-1
    - Limitation of stresses - SLS
    - Decompression and the width of cracks – SLS
    3. Checking structure at ULS with the PSC Design module according to EC 1992-1
    - Theory of Primary and Secondary effects of prestress loads
    - Why must we check at ULS?
    - Creating Load Combinations at ULS
