Structural Design for Industrial & Energy Infrastructure:
Plant Steelwork & Solar Support Structures in GEN NX
A complete Eurocode workflow for solar support structures in GEN NX
Solar and industrial energy projects put steel support structures under a demanding combination of equipment, wind, seismic and temperature loading — all under tight design and delivery timelines. This live session shows how MIDAS GEN NX supports the full Eurocode-based workflow for plant steelwork and solar support structures, from material and section definition through geometry, boundary conditions and loading, to result interpretation and steel section code checks.
Mohammad Zeeshan Alam, Application Engineer at MIDAS IT, will walk through a practical solar support structure model in GEN NX, covering the Eurocode guidelines relevant to steel structures for solar plants and demonstrating how to move efficiently from modelling to a compliant design.
