The option for 'Initial Displacement for C.S.' has been added upon the request and support of CY Yong (Michael Baker International, KY) and Matt C., Luke T., Ayed Y., Mark F., Quentin M., Javier C., and Jonathan A. Geometry Nonlinear Construction Stage Analysis with Plate Elements has been upgraded to now consider within the Construction Stage Analysis control data.

Special thanks to our Expert Influencers: Sungki Choi (Jacobs, CO), Vincent Nganga (Jacobs, MO), and Suthichai Saelim (HDR, MA), for the peer review of the updates. These updates were completed as per the request of 232 Midas Civil user companies and 3,0000 bridge engineers who are actively maintaining their Midas Civil software license. Along with the updated standards, the Load factors of extreme event and fatigue are now generated automatically.

These updates allow for safer performance checks and an increase in accuracy for finite element reactions on extreme events. The new release of Midas Civil 2020 includes highly anticipated updates to the design code, geometric nonlinear effects of plate elements, and orthogonal effects of seismic loads. 3.1 for structural engineering with an emphasis on modeling, analysis, and design for transportation bridges. MIDAS is announcing the enhancements to the latest release of Midas Civil 2020 v.
