Vilnius Technical Seminar 2026
Bridge & Geotechnical Engineering with MIDAS
A one-day, in-person seminar for bridge and geotechnical engineers: railway and footbridge case studies in CIVIL NX, plus monitoring based back analysis in GTS NX.
Register Now →Bridge engineering and geotechnical insight,
from two different perspectives
Hosted in Vilnius, this in-person seminar brings together practising bridge engineers and the MIDAS IT Europe technical team for an afternoon of applied, project driven presentations: construction stage modelling of a railway truss bridge, dynamic analysis of a steel footbridge, timber footbridge design, and back analysis of monitoring data for excavation and retaining wall projects using GTS NX.
Whether you work on infrastructure design, structural assessment, or geotechnical analysis, the sessions are built around real engineering workflows, followed by a coffee break and open networking.
WHO IT'S FOR
Bridge, structural and geotechnical engineers working on infrastructure design and analysis
FORMAT
Afternoon in-person seminar with two technical sessions, a coffee break, and open networking

Three real projects behind the talks
Each session is grounded in an actual project from the speaker's own practice.
Railway Truss Bridge: Construction Stage Analysis
Erection sequencing, temporary supports, and lifting and launching stages modelled step by step, tracking the structure from first assembly to final position.
Steel Footbridge: Dynamic Analysis
A U-shaped trough footbridge checked for dynamic response, with deck acceleration time-histories generated directly from the FE model for pedestrian comfort.
Timber Footbridge: Composite Design
Glulam elements and orthotropic material properties modelled to capture the real behaviour of a composite timber and steel footbridge.
One afternoon, two perspectives
