- MIDAS IT Europe demonstrates a complete integrated workflow for local stress analysis of half joint details, connecting a global Civil NX model directly to a localised FEA NX analysis.
- The session shows how to extract boundary conditions from a global model and apply them to a detailed local model, producing actionable stress results for assessment and design verification.

Description
In this session, the MIDAS IT Europe technical team delivers a hands-on demonstration of local analysis techniques for half joint details using MIDAS Civil NX and MIDAS FEA NX. Building on the real project context presented by WSP, this session focuses on the software workflow that enables engineers to move seamlessly from a global bridge model to a high-resolution local stress analysis. The demonstration covers the key steps involved in setting up a local FEA NX model of a half joint region, including how to correctly transfer loads and boundary conditions from a Civil NX global model, how to define appropriate mesh density and element types for localised stress capture, and how to post-process and interpret results in a way that supports assessment decisions. The session is structured as a practical, step-by-step walkthrough designed to be directly applicable to engineers working on bridge assessment projects in the UK and beyond, providing a clear and repeatable methodology for tackling half joint details with confidence.
