This session introduces a complete workflow for designing a single-span steel-concrete composite pedestrian bridge using MIDAS Civil NX. Led by a practicing engineer, it covers key modeling steps, load application, construction stage analysis, and code checks based on Eurocode. Perfect for engineers looking to get started with Civil NX through a simple yet realistic project.
🛠 Key Civil NX Features Covered
• Composite Bridge Wizard
• Load Assignment and Boundary Conditions
• Construction Stage Analysis (CSA)
• Eurocode Design Check
• User Experience Enhancements / UI Customization
🎯 3 Takeaways for Attendees
1. Learn how to model and analyze a composite pedestrian bridge from scratch
2. Understand how to automate boundary conditions and apply Eurocode loads
3. Discover how Civil NX simplifies repetitive workflows and enhances productivity

Q1. I noticed the speaker was different from what was originally announced. What happened?
Due to personal circumstances, the originally scheduled speaker was unable to join. As a result, the session was led by our in-house technical team with relevant project experience. We sincerely apologize for the change. The original speaker’s session will be provided later as a replay or bonus session, and we’ll notify all participants once it’s available.
Q2. Will the presentation and model files be shared?
Yes, both the model and presentation files will be available for download on the session webpage.
Q4. Can the Civil NX file be opened in Midas Civil?
Yes. Midas Civil NX models can be aved as .mcb files, which are compatible with Midas Civil.
Q3. Is AutoCAD supported for importing drawings into Civil NX?
Yes. You can easily import .dxf files directly from AutoCAD.
Q5. Does the wizard automatically apply zero self-weight to dummy transverse sections?
Yes. When using dummy transverse sections, the software applies a material with zero weight density to simulate no self-weight.
Q6. How does Midas handle the equivalence between steel and concrete in composite sections?
It considers the ratio between the elastic moduli of steel and concrete.
Q7. Can we have a future session on U-frame pedestrian bridges (steel or concrete)?
Thank you for the suggestion. We will review the topic and consider organizing a future webinar if feasible.
