This session introduces how MIDAS CIVIL NX global bridge models can be integrated with MIDAS FEA NX for detailed joint analysis. Starting from frame-based global models in CIVIL NX, participants will learn how to export joint geometry, convert frames to solids, apply real displacements, and perform advanced FEM-based local analysis. 

🛠 Key Civil NX Features Covered

• How to export joints from CIVIL NX into FEA NX for detailed modeling (Step-by-step method to transform frame elements into 3D solids)

• How to apply displacements and boundary conditions from global models into FEA NX
• Techniques to analyze local stresses at local joint

🎯 3 Takeaways for Attendees

1. Learn how to bridge the gap between global and local models using CIVIL NX and FEA NX
2. Gain insight into stress distribution at joint locations
3. Understand how FEM enhances accuracy beyond analytical formulations
