midas Gen midas Gen provides SPC, which calculates stiffness data for any shape or form. The section shape can be drawn, or a DXF file can be imported. The shape and properties of the generated section can be exported to midas Gen. Section Property Calculator An unit structures such as a frame, an arch, a truss, a plate and a shell may be modeled by this automated modeling tool independently and may be combined later with the total model. Structure Wizards In-plane rigidity of a slab can be easily considered without including an actual slab in the model. The mass data are automatically...

05 midas Gen midas Gen enables us to specify all types of nodal, element, point, surface, dynamic, prestressing and thermal loads encountered in practice Typical Beam Loads for applying floor loads Floor Loads by areas Static seismic loads and wind loads based on various international building codes Hydrostatic Pressure Loads for applying lateral earth pressure Load combination based on various design codes Load group generation load cases from load combinations Loads This function allows us to readily specify uniformly distributed dead and live loads on specific areas of a floor. The floor...

midas Gen 06 midas Gen provides Construction Stage Analysis capability, which reflects the time dependent material properties of concrete such as modulus of elasticity, creep and shrinkage. Change in material properties are reflected while simulating construction sequence with respect to the change in geometry, boundary conditions and loads relative to time. Construction Stage Analysis Serviceability of floor structures can be evaluated by dynamic time history analyses. midas Gen provides a number of time history forcing functions for walking loads for floor vibration. - Baumann, IABSE,...
