Revision of Gen 2014 (v2.1)
[May 29, 2014]
Model
> Properties > Plastic Materials
Q1.
How can you
simulate nonlinear behavior of concrete with plate / solid elements ?
Model
> Boundaries > Beam End Release
Q1.Why member force
with partial fixity is different from the value of "original
member force x scale force"?
Load > Specified Displacements of
Supports
Q1.
Can
you explain why the sum of
reactions due to the
‘Specified Displacement’ load
case in model file
is not equal to
zero. It is close
to zero but not exactly.
Does midas have
any
setting where the precision
can be controlled
by the
user?
Analysis
> Construction Stage Analysis Control
Q1.
There
are construction stage load cases, namely, “creep primary”, “creep
secondary”, “shrinkage primary” and “shrinkage secondary”. What
are the meaning of “primary” and “secondary”, their differences
and application?
Results
> Combination > Load Combination
Q1.
I
have a question regarding the load combination import from one
model to another in midas Gen. I looked for the procedure in the
online manual, but I am not sure of how to generate the .lcb file.
What is the procedure of importing or pasting a load combination?
Results > Forces > Plate Forces/Moments
Results
> Result Tables > Plate > Force & Stress
Q1. How
can I obtain the results for Plate Force (Unit Length)?
Design
> Concrete Design Parameter > Serviceability Parameters
Q1.
What is the Deflection
Amplification Factor in Serviceability Parameters?
Design
> Concrete Code Design > Beam Design
Q1.
For
Shear Design as per Eurocode2, the load combination being used
for design is not the one with maximum shear force. Why?
Design > Steel
Optimal Design
Q1. In the attached model when I do
the optimal design for column the program does not do the design.
It does not change the sections. Why?
Design >Pushover Analysis > Pushover
Curve
Q1. We are doing a pushover analysis
of wall element. Our purpose is to analyze the capacity of Steel
plate. But the software fails to find the performance point on
capacity curve. Why?
Design
> Pushover Analysis > Define
Hinge Properties
Q1. Is it possible to assign a masonry
material type to a wall element when defining the pushover hinges?
If not, how should the user overcome this problem?
Tools
> General Section Designer
Q1. GSD
is hanging up when I perform the design. Why?
