: Added auto-generation for beam section temperature loads (temperature gradients) for PSC and steel composite girders following AASHTO LRFD 2020 Updated Design Standards : New assessment capabilities for steel composite girders. Australia AS 5100.5:17 : Updates for the General Section Designer (GSD). Russia Standard : Updated traffic loads for AK and N11. AASHTO LRFR 2019
Added a new type of elastic link specifically for Rail Track Interaction , facilitating more accurate modeling for railway bridge projects. midas civil 2022 v1.2
One of the standout features of the 2022 v1.2 update is its enhanced capabilities. The software excels at handling diverse bridge types—from simple spans to complex cable-stayed and suspension structures. It utilizes a powerful Finite Element Analysis (FEA) engine that allows engineers to perform linear and nonlinear analyses, including time-dependent material properties like creep and shrinkage . This version specifically refined the moving load analysis engine, enabling more accurate simulations of vehicle interactions on curved or skewed bridges.
