Overview
This webinar brings together two applied sessions on connecting structural and geotechnical analysis with MIDAS GEN NX and GTS NX.
In the first session, Dr. Ionuț Emil Iancu (SDC Proiect) presents a case study of a multi-storey office building on a piled raft foundation. The structure is analysed in GEN NX, then transferred to a 3D geotechnical model in GTS NX to compare spring-based and full soil-structure interaction results.
In the second session, Rohith Swaminathan (MIDAS IT Europe) introduces an extended API plugin for deep excavation design checks and explores GTS NX – GEN NX interoperability.
Key highlights include:
- Integrated Workflow: Export the structure from GEN NX and import it into GTS NX with the same geometry and loads, with no remodelling
- Springs vs. 3D SSI: Where the Winkler spring model falls short for piled rafts, and how GTS NX results can calibrate it
- Nonlinear Soil Modelling: Hardening Soil model, soil-structure interfaces and embedded piles
- Design-Relevant Results: Settlements, contact pressures, pile loads and plastic zones, and their effect on raft reinforcement
- Deep Excavation Design Checks: An extended API plugin that automates checks on GTS NX excavation models
- GTS NX – GEN NX Interoperability: Moving data between geotechnical and structural models
Join us to see how soil-structure interaction and API automation can turn analysis results into better design decisions!
Key Points
- Structural engineers designing raft or piled raft foundations
- Geotechnical engineers working on soil-structure interaction and deep excavations
- MIDAS GEN NX and GTS NX users who want to link their structural and geotechnical models
- Engineers looking to automate design checks through the MIDAS API
