Smart Precast Workflows &
Seismic Assessment of Historic MasonryFrom predesign to production-ready precast, and from site survey to seismic safety of heritage buildings, all in MIDAS GEN NX
New precast structures and historic masonry,
from two different perspectives
This live webinar brings together Michele Polastri, MIDAS Account Manager for the Benelux region, and Dr. Oğuz Uzdil of Istanbul Aydın University for two applied sessions on MIDAS GEN NX.
The first session shows how prefabrication becomes a smart workflow, connecting analysis, Eurocode design and detailing from predesign to production-ready documentation, followed by a live Q&A. The second walks through the seismic assessment of historic masonry, from construction history and damage survey to modelling, modal evaluation and case studies, closing with a second live Q&A.
WHO IT'S FOR
Structural engineers, precast engineers and manufacturers, and heritage or retrofit specialists
FORMAT
80-minute live online webinar with two technical sessions, each followed by live Q&A
TOPICS COVERED
- Integrated precast workflows in MIDAS GEN NX

Session: Your Precast. Your Production.
Dr. Oğuz Uzdil
Dr. Oğuz Uzdil is a civil engineer and lecturer at Istanbul Aydın University in Istanbul, Türkiye. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from Istanbul University. His research focuses on the seismic assessment and strengthening of masonry and historic structures, with particular expertise in finite-element modelling, performance-based evaluation, and linear and nonlinear structural analysis.
More about Oğuz
He has published extensively in international Q1 and Q2 journals, as well as in book chapters and conference proceedings. His work combines modal, response-spectrum and pushover analyses with practical numerical modelling, including case studies of traditional masonry buildings, historic schools, mosques, and timber–masonry structures.
