In structural engineering, understanding how concrete behaves during early-age curing is critical. Yet the thermal effects of hydration are often underestimated until cracking appears.

Traditionally, engineers rely on simplified assumptions or fragmented thermal analysis tools, making it difficult to evaluate temperature distribution, differentials, and resulting stresses within a single, efficient workflow.

In this webinar, see how MIDAS Civil NX brings heat of hydration analysis together, from thermal property input through to stress interpretation, all within one environment.

One platform to model, analyze, and make confident decisions on mass concrete structures.

Join us and see it for yourself.

- Engineers looking to incorporate thermal analysis into their structural workflow without switching between tools
- Engineers who want to understand how to interpret heat of hydration results and assess early-age cracking risk
- Engineers who need to evaluate early-age thermal cracking risk in mass concrete per project-specific requirements

- Engineers working on structures subject to mass concrete specifications

   (mat foundations, dams, bridge piers, large columns)

- Understand how to set up a 3D Heat of Hydration analysis model in MIDAS Civil NX,

   including material thermal properties, boundary conditions, and construction stage definitions.

- See how construction stage modeling enables accurate simulation of real-world pour sequences,

   with each stage carrying its own hydration heat characteristics and time-dependent material properties

- Learn how to interpret time-variant temperature distribution results.

   Distinguishing core vs. surface thermal behavior and identifying the point of peak temperature

- See how Heat of Hydration analysis outputs directly support the development of a project-specific
