Overview

Enhance Your Bridge Design Workflow with Automation!

 

Join us for an interactive and practical webinar on automating bridge design and analysis using MIDAS CIVIL NX and Grasshopper. This session will introduce the powerful MIDAS GH Plug-in, demonstrating how parametric modeling can streamline your workflow, minimize manual effort, and enhance design efficiency.

 

✅ What You’ll Learn:
🔹 Automate Tendon Profile Generation using Grasshopper
🔹 Optimize Construction Stage Analysis with parametric modeling
🔹 Reduce repetitive tasks and enhance design accuracy with practical applications
🔹 Gain insights into transforming drawings into structual analysis models for efficient bridge design

 

This is more than just a lecture—it’s an opportunity to gain hands-on knowledge, see real-world applications, and ask your questions during the live Q&A session. Whether you're new to parametric design or looking to optimize your current workflow, this session will provide valuable insights to help you work smarter, not harder.

 

📢 Don’t miss this chance to revolutionize your bridge design process! 

Secure your spot today and take the first step toward automation-driven efficiency.

1️⃣ Overcoming the Challenges of Tendon Profile Creation

 

Key Image 1

 

Struggling with manual tendon profile input in MIDAS Civil? Learn how to import 2D tendon shapes from CAD into Grasshopper, merge them with CIVIL NX models, and export back to CIVIL NX—eliminating the need for tedious coordinate entry. This solution efficiently addresses the limitations of traditional tendon modeling.


2️⃣ Transforming 2D Drawings into Structural Models

 

Key Image 2-1

 

If modeling from scratch feels overwhelming or time-consuming, discover how to import cross-sections from DWG files into Grasshopper and Rhino, build a model efficiently, and export it to CIVIL NX. This approach provides valuable insights on creating models directly from drawings.

 

3️⃣ Expanding the Capabilities of Parametric Modeling

 

Key Image 3-2

 

Structural models used to be difficult to update once created, but with Grasshopper templates, you can modify and update models with flexibility. Our GH plug-in ensures that CIVIL NX’s most powerful features—Construction Stage Analysis and Moving Load Analysis—remain fully functional and optimized.

 

4️⃣ Making GH Plug-in & CIVIL NX More Accessible

 

Key Image 4-1

 

Concerned about the complexity of learning Grasshopper and CIVIL NX? Unlike other software providers, we offer comprehensive manuals, example files, and real-world structural tutorials for each GH plug-in component, making it easy to learn and apply in practice.

 

5️⃣ Building an Automated Design Workflow

 

Key Image 5

 

If you're looking to integrate structural analysis and BIM into a single Grasshopper template, our GH plug-in is developed and maintained directly by MIDASIT to fully support CIVIL NX’s capabilities. Additionally, we are working on post-analysis integration with Excel templates, allowing for end-to-end process automation.
