    Takeaways for Attendees

    Import and process 3D geometry in FEA NX

    Define concrete nonlinear material models with tension/compression functions

    Model longitudinal rebar, tie beams, and prestressing tendons accurately

    Apply real-world loads including braking force and superstructure reaction

    Set up and run nonlinear static analysis with crack visualization

    Interpret 3D crack status, stress, and strain results

    Description

    This session walks you through a complete nonlinear static analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge pier using MIDAS FEA NX. You will learn how to import a 3D Parasolid model, define materials such as smeared cracking concrete and prestressing tendons, model longitudinal and transverse rebars, and apply real-world loads including braking force and prestress. The session concludes with interpretation of 3D crack results.
