The program’s efficient analysis algorithms yield exceptional versatility and accurate results appropriate for practical design applications.

Powerful Post-Processor The post-processor can automatically create load combinations in accordance with specified design standards.Ĭhanging the type of display can produce various forms of graphic output.

Practically all the results can be animated, namely, mode shapes, time history results of displacements and member forces, dynamic analysis results and static analysis results.

Midas Civil also provides results that are compatible with MS Excel, which enables the user to review all analysis and design results systematically. Auto Design and Load Rating Midas Civil provides various design check and load rating features including.Eurocode & AASHTO LRFDBending, shear & torsional strengths.Member forces & stresses for each construction stage and max & min stress summations.Automatic generation of load combinations in accordance with various design codes.The Finite-Element Method (FEM) is a computational method/technique developed by engineers used to obtain an approximate solution to engineering problems. Finite element breaks a complex problem into simpler problem and uses a mathematical glue to join the solutions.Īn engineer designing a bridge will need to know how the proposed structure will behave under load. The equations describing the distribution of structural stresses are known but they can’t be directly solved for a complicated shape such as a bridge. However the equations can be solved for very simple shapes like triangles or rectangles. The finite element method takes advantage of this fact. We replace the single complicated shape with an approximately equivalent network of simple elements. The overall pattern of elements is referred to as the finite element mesh.

And this pattern will be unique to each new problem.
