Tree Menu in Midas Civil

  • Table Menu display all type of data entry analysis and design result in form of spreadsheet format.

For that double click on nodes- you get node along with coordinate are listed in spread sheet format.
Tables are excel compatible means data can be copy from excel and pasted in Midas Civil and vice versa.



  • Work Menu: Systemize entire modelling process. we can review status of input


Example when you double click on node all the nodes are selected

Similarly when you double click on any material property all the material having that property is selected

It has one more feature you can drag properties. Example when you drag property from Girder1 to Main Girder 2 it will automatically change properties of Main grider.

One more feature is to display loads , right click on element beam load

choose Display




 
Group tab is used for construction stages allow element , boundary conditions group to be activated and de activated during different stages.
Report tab used to compile dynamic report .









Main menu: Result Menu -Post processing Midas Civil

 



After analysis first step is to form load combination of different load cases.

 


Corresponding to different load cases or combination plotting analysis result reaction , deformations, forces and stresses

More detail result such as forces and stresses all along the length

Dynamic analysis such as vibration mode , buckling mode, time history graph and results

Analysis pertaining especially to bridges such as moving load like influence line

Main menu: Analysis Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 


List all type of control data

Functions to perform analysis





Main menu: Load Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on Load



Define different type of load cases such as Dead load etc

Choose type of load Static load , Dynamic Load, Thermal loads or automatic generation functions

This section is dynamic that is it changes as per type of load chosen .

Main menu: Boundary Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on Boundary menu


to enter supports


or to enter Partially restrained supports namely spring supports

Elastic link and rigid link to simulate bridge paring and other load transfer condition
General link for boundary non linear properties.


Release conditions offset














Main menu: Properties Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on Properties menu



Material Properties namely type of material Young modulus


Option for time dependent such as creep, change in compressive strength with time, and aslo in elastic properties.

Defining Section geometry, Section reinforcement, Tapered profile section etc are under section properties.










Main menu: Node/ Element Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on Node/ element


Creating and manipulation of nodes such as numbering ....

Creating and manipulation of elements such as translate element into section








Main menu: Structure Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on Structure menu

Entering model data such as 2 D plane or 3 D plane, self weight information for seismic analysis.



Quick model generation tool called wizards for different type of bridges under structure menu




Main menu: View Menu -Pre processing Midas Civil

 Click on View menu


Visual presentation method


Manipulation Functions


Selection Function


Activations functions














Organization of Windows in Midas Civil

Command message: is similar as in AutoCAD. By just typing simple abbreviated command in the command line the program will invoke dialog box or direct user to related function.



Analysis Message: Display all type of messages related to modelling.


Status Bar: present matter related to all type of coordinate system. Unit system conversion, select filtering, fast query, element snap control etc.


Table Window: show all type of data entry

Windows in Midas Civil

 MAIN MENU: is easy access to all the function related to input and output analysis. It minimize the mouse movement.



ICON MENU: 


Works in tree menu: Systemize entire design process, which allow us to review status of input.


Context menu: we get from right click on working window give us context menu . which change whether you are on pre or post processing unit.
