User Defined Material

Select to define the material type for th user defined material properties from midas Gen. Selectable material types are Steel and RC.

Vertical 1D (Beam) Element

Equal X and Y coordinates for both ends of 1D(Beam) element (but different Z coordinate) from midas Gen will be considered as Vertical 1D (Beam) Element. Member type of Vertical 1D Element can be defined as either Column or Sub Column when it is imported to midas nGen.

Horizontal 1D (Beam) Element

Equal Z coordinate for both ends of 1D(Beam) element from midas Gen will be considered as Horizontal 1D (Beam) Element. Member type of Horizontal 1D Element can be defined as either Beam, Sub Beam or Brace when it is imported to midas nGen.

Other 1D (Beam) Element

Unequal X, Y, and Z coordinate for both ends of 1D(Beam) element from midas Gen will be considered as Other 1D (Beam) Element. Member type of Other 1D (Beam) Element can be defined as either Beam, Sub Beam, Brace(Truss), Brace(Tension only), Brace(Compression only) or Brace(Beam) when it is imported to midas nGen.

2D (Plate, Plane Stress) Element

Plate, Plane Stress, Wall element of midas Gen can be imported as Plate or Shell member when it is imported to midas nGen.

3D (Solid) Element

Solid element in midas Gen will be imported as solid member when it is imported to midas nGen.

Option

Convert Member : Check to merge/divide element from midas Gen in accordance with Auto Edit rule of midas nGen. (Refer to Auto Edit from Member section).

Include Load and Boundary Condition : Check to include assigned load and boundary condition from midas Gen. Sometimes it is necessary to exclude load and boundary condition for faster import process.
