Menu System
The Menu System is structured to maximize the efficiency in performing analysis and design tasks. All functions required for input/output, analysis and design processes can be accessed easily.

Tree Menu

The tree menu under the Menu tab is an outline of the entire data entry procedure from modeling to analysis to design. An expert as well as a novice can efficiently work on a model, avoiding errors by accessing the related dialog boxes, using the organized tree menu system. Modifying the data is quick and easy, and models can be update on-the-fly with the drag & drop modeling feature.

Icon Menu

The icon menu provides access to frequently used functions, which can be selectively organized to construct customized toolbars.

Context Menu

The context menu is prompted with just one click of the right mouse button and will display options related to the working environment. Right-clicking in the modeling window will display modeling options, thus reflecting the work environment.

Model Window

The model window displays common model views as well as hidden lines, removal of hidden surfaces, shading, lighting, dispersion of color tone, etc. It can also present multiple model windows simultaneously. Because every window

operates independently, different user coordinate systems can be assigned to each individual window. In addition, each window shares the same database allowing users to view changes automatically for all windows.

Rendering Window

The rendering view of a model allows the user to visually verify the structural geometry of the model with a walk-through effect.

Status Bar

The status bar located at the bottom of the screen identifies the current unit system in use and basic information on the snapped node or element. It provides control functions such as fast query, element snap and select filter.

Task Pane

The task pane is a feature for easy entry of analysis data. It displays the work procedure for advanced analysis functions and provides descriptions on input items . In addition, task pane data can be saved in HTML format in the user folder, so that the user can directly write or add the required input items for analysis.

Data Entry Option

For convenience, Civil provides the following data entry options:

Where numerical data are entered consecutively in a data field, each number can be distinguished by a [ , ] (Comma) or a [ ] (Blank). Example:333, 102, 11 or 333 102 11 Locations, sections, materials and other relevant data can be assigned to a model by dragging & dropping definitions from the tree menu to the model window. Length or directional increments can be specified using the mouse by choosing the relevant origin and ending points in the model window rather than typing the data . Where the same length is repeated, the entry can be simplified by < number of repetitions > @ < length> instead of repeating the same number. Example:20, 25, 22.3, 22.3, 22.3, 22.3, 22.3, 88 = 20, 25, 5@22.3, 88 Data can be defined by typing in data fields. For example, node numbering or element numbering can be as an arithmetic progression in series or the progression can be incremental. Then the data entry can be simplified as < start number> to (t) < final number> or < start number> to (t) < final

number> by < increment> . Example: 21, 22, . . .54, 55, 56 = 21 to 56 Example: 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 = "35 to 60 by 5"or "35 t 60 by 5 Numbers and mathematical expressions can be used in combination. The majority of the operators applied in engineering computation can be used. Example: x 202 = PHI * 20^2 Expressions may include a location function. This is very convenient for a load (hydrostatic pressure, etc.) that changes with location. Example: 30 + 9.80 x (Z-50)

Unit System and Conversion

In practice, there are diverse modeling environments and various forms of data entry. midas Civil is designed to operate concurrently under a specific system of units or a combination of several types of unit systems. For instance, "m" unit for the geometry data and "mm" unit for section data may be used in the same model. Also, the "SI" unit system used in the data entry process can be converted into the "Imperial" unit system for the analysis and design results. The thermal unit system requires a consistent unit system for the data. The units for moment, stress or modulus of elasticity, which combine length units and force units are automatically adjusted by the program according to the types of length and force units selected by the user.

Typical Beam Loads

Common types of beam loads resulting from floor loading

Floor Loads

Floor loads on the top of beam or wall elements

Plane Loads

Plane loads are conveniently applied to any specific location on plane and solid elements. Plane loads can be specified on any surface without being restricted by the presence of nodes or elements.

Prestress Loads

Prestress Beam Loads Pre-stress loads in beam elements Pretension Loads Pretension loads in truss elements, cable elements and tension/compression only elements Tendon Prestress Loads Prestresses of tendons

Hydrostatic Pressure Loads

Hydrostatic pressure loads automatically calculate and applies the lateral loads due to soil or fluid pressures acting on plate or solid elements. The loads are also automatically redistributed when elements are divided or merged.

Temperature Loads

Temperature loads can be applied to either the entire structure or individual nodes. Temperature gradients can be applied to line elements along the axes

of the elements.

Pressure Loads

Pressure loads can be applied to thicknesses or surfaces of plate and solid elements.

Construction Stage Loads

Time Loads for Construction Stages Impose time loads to specific members to reflect the time dependent material properties. Creep Coefficient for Construction Stages A creep coefficient is directly entered in the form of load.

Initial Forces

Initial forces for calculating geometric stiffness

Moving Load

Define the type of vehicle, the number of lanes, and the method to be used in moving load analysis

Dynamic Loads
midas Civil performs time history analysis where time history loads or sinusoidal loads can be applied to nodes.

For response spectrum analysis, select a response spectrum from the seismic database in accordance with a governing standard. The built-in design spectrums based on international codes are as follows: IBC2000, UBC, NBC,

Eurocode-8, China, IS1893, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Mass data can be automatically considered by using the self-weight and other loadings already entered in the structure for eigenvalue analysis. By performing response spectrum analysis, the excitation angle of the response spectrum is automatically taken as the major-axis direction of a structure. Also , the accidental eccentricity moment can be automatically included in the calculation of response spectrum loads.

Mass Data
Nodal Masses
Lumped translational mass and rotational mass moment of inertia are specified at a particular node.

mX mY mZ rmX rmY rmZ

Lumped Translational Mass in the GCS X-axis Lumped Translational Mass in the GCS Y-axis Lumped Translational Mass in the GCS Z-axis Rotational Mass Moment of Inertia about GCS X-axis Rotational Mass Moment of Inertia about GCS Y-axis Rotational Mass Moment of Inertia about GCS Z-axis

Loads to Masses
Vertical components (loads acting in the Z-direction of the GCS) of the entered loads are converted into masses, which are considered as concentrated mass data.

Consistent Mass
midas Civil converts consistent mass into distributed masses. Consistent mass is calculated using the shape function to derive the stiffness matrix. Off-diagonal mass terms are considered and, unlike the lumped mass, the inertia coupling effect is considered. Therefore, results using consistent mass is more accurate than the lumped mass, however the numerical computation takes more time to complete.

Self-weight to Mass
The masses of the elements included in the model can be automatically converted into lumped masses or consistent masses in midas Civil for dynamic analysis or computation of statically equivalent seismic loads.
