MIDAS CIVIL

Midas Civil is the most powerful software for analysing and designing steel, concrete, wood, aluminum and composite structures. Experienced engineers who have a good understanding of the concept of modelling, analysis and design of a structure are well aware of this well-known and professional software. Three years of experience, along with suggestions from engineers  working with Midas Civil, have made it the most applicable design and analysis software available in the global marketplace. The toolbars embedded in the graphical user interface make it easy to enter the information needed for modelling, analysis, and design.

STAAD.Pro is a comprehensive and integrated finite element analysis  and design application that includes visualization capabilities, a simple user interface, and a wide range of design codes. You can analyse any structure exposed to static, dynamic, wind, earthquake, thermal, and  moving loads. STAAD. Pro provides structural analysis and design for  any type of project, including buildings, culverts, plants, bridges, stadiums, and marine structures.

Bridge Substructure Slab and other 

CSI SAFE From framing layout to detail drawing production, SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process in one easy and intuitive environment. SAFE provides unmatched productivity to the engineer with its truly unique combination of power, comprehensive capabilities, and ease-of-use. SAFE offers a single user interface to perform modeling, analysis,  design and reporting. A new model explorer is available for quick access to objects, properties and forms. SAFE is ideal for modeling foundations, basement and footings. Easily model soil supports and zero tension soil models with uplift analysis. The area assignment of soil supportsis based on the subgrade modulus, and they automatically adjust whenever the mesh changes. Basement foundation models can include pedestals, walls, columns, beams, and piles in addition to the foundation area. SAFE offers a wide rage of code-based design features for steel frame, concrete frame, cold form steel, and aluminum frame.

Wind Simulation of Bridge Structure

RWIND Simulation Case Setup  RWIND   Simulation software, developed by companies PC-PROGRESS and DLUBAL, was designed   as specialized tool for rapid CFD simulations of wind load on large  variety of structures. RWIND Simulation works as standalone  software, or it can be directly connected with structural design software RFEM or RSTAB.  RWIND Simulation user   interface is super ease of use with minimal    necessary settings  and   user skills. The   work flow is very simple.  The input for RWIND    Simulation is the  surface model of the    structure(CAD,.STL).   The virtual wind tunnel    is created around the    structure. Wind speed is    set. There st of the     parameters are not mandatory, but available.
