London Onsite Seminar 2026
AI-Powered Bridge Engineering with MIDAS
Bridge engineering meets AI:
from LLM-driven modelling to custom plug-ins
Hosted in London, this in-person seminar brings together Stanislaw Bolanowski and Manoj Kheterpal for an evening of practical, demo-driven presentations on how large language models are changing everyday structural engineering workflows.
See an AI agent automate bridge design in Midas Civil NX, from local operation to shared team workflows, and learn how custom MIDAS plug-ins can be built with Claude. Then continue the conversation over drinks and networking with peers and the MIDAS IT Europe team.
WHO IT'S FOR
Bridge and structural engineers curious about applying AI and automation to their design workflows
FORMAT
Evening in-person seminar with technical sessions and open networking
TOPICS COVERED

on AI in bridge engineering
📝 Reception & Registration
Opening
Using an AI agent with Midas Civil NX: working for the engineer, scaling to multiple users
Explore this session
Follow an AI agent as it designs a steel–concrete composite road bridge through preliminary, developed and detailed stages in Midas Civil NX via its API. Eurocode checks run on every result, with the engineer making the final decisions after each phase.
Explore local operation on a single GPU with data kept in the office, and a shared team agent through Slack or Microsoft Teams. A live Slack demo shows the agent building a Midas model from a brief.
🍻 Drinks & Networking Break
Create MIDAS Plug-ins with Claude
Explore this session
See how custom MIDAS plug-ins can be built with Claude, turning engineering ideas into working automation tools.

Session: Using an AI agent with Midas Civil NX: working for the engineer, scaling to multiple users
An AI agent builds and solves a steel–concrete composite road bridge in Midas Civil NX through its API, progressing from preliminary to developed and detailed design. Eurocode checks run on every result; early options are screened efficiently, and only shortlisted designs receive a detailed model. The engineer makes the final decisions after every phase.
A defined workflow and contract limit the agent’s decisions. Each stage is checked against the files it produces, using checks written independently of the agent. The presentation compares a local, single-GPU setup that keeps data in the office with a shared agent accessed through Slack or Microsoft Teams, where jobs are queued, attributed and logged. In the live demo, a brief submitted in Slack becomes a Midas model in front of the audience.
